Explore the Tagish Area

Tagish Lake is a premier fishing destination for lake trout and pike, and many RVers set up camp along the lakeshore for extended stays. Dump your tanks at the station here if you've been lakeside camping, since the nearest alternatives are back in Whitehorse or at Carcross. The Tagish Bridge area is a good spot for wildlife viewing -- watch for eagles, especially in fall when salmon are running. Bring your own water and hose for fill-ups. Cell coverage is spotty in the Tagish area, working in some spots near the road but dropping out along the lake and in the surrounding hills.
