Review:

With crystal clear waters backed by the majestic Kluane Range Mountains, Kathleen Lake offers visitors a beautiful backcountry experience. Popular for camping, boating, and hiking, the area surrounding the lake features a day-use area, campground, boat launch, and a variety of hiking trails. One of the more difficult trails is a 3.1-mile hike that ascends to King’s Throne, a breathtaking, glacially-formed arena that overlooks the lake. The waters of Kathleen Lake are known to be exceptionally clear and home to kokanee salmon, a rare, landlocked population of Sockeye salmon that only live and reproduce in freshwater. Kayaking, canoeing, boating, and fishing are common activities on the lake.
