Marsh Lake forms part of the original historic Trail of ‘98. Gold Seekers built their rudimentary boats at Lake Bennett and traveled north through the Southern Lakes to meet the Yukon River and their destiny in the Klondike Gold Fields of Dawson.

The Marsh Lake community is located just 45 minutes South of Whitehorse, a relatively short distance in the Yukon. A charming local coffee shop is a favorite local gathering place where hot coffee, fresh baked goods, and full meals are served up with some of the warmest hospitality found anywhere.

Kayaking, canoeing, guided fishing, boat tours, log cabins or Thai Dinners by reservation are just some of the exciting adventures available at beautiful Marsh Lake.
