Bennett Lake
Whitehorse, Canada


Bennett Lake is a glacial lake located in the Yukon Territory, primarily known for its stunning turquoise waters and mountainous backdrop. This 42-kilometre long lake was formed during the last Ice Age and serves as part of the historic route for the Gold Rush Trail, where visitors can often spot remnants of that era along its shores.
The area offers opportunities for kayaking and fishing, with the best times to visit being late spring to early fall when the weather is milder. The nearby Carcross Desert, one of the smallest in the world, adds variety to the landscape, making it worthwhile to explore the surrounding trails.
