Kusawa Lake is a glacial blue lake located in the southern Yukon, a territory in Canada, located right outside of Whitehorse, near the British Columbia border.
The road to the lake, as well as a small number of area residents, is totally unpaved. It’s called Kusawa Lake Road. Kusawa means "long narrow lake" in the Tlingit language. The lake is a common tourist destination and also for fishing.
Running along the Takhini River, the winding and narrow road can be muddy after rain and pitted in sandy sections. Due to environmental factors, the risk of a major flood/mud flow is currently higher than usual. The drive is very scenic but pretty challenging. It’s very steep and tops out at 754m (2,473ft) above the sea level.
Set high in the northwestern part of the country, the road is seasonally closed in winters, and open from May until October.
The road is 24.0 km (14.91 miles) long, running north-south from the historical mile 960 of the Alaska Highway (Hwy1) to a campground near the lake.
