Watson Lake The first Yukon community encountered by the northbound traveler and the second largest town in the Yukon. It is a comfortable day’s drive from Fort Nelson or Whitehorse. For a complete list of Things to do in the Yukon and Alaska on your trip north, visit our Things To Do section. Watson Lake is also the start of the Robert Campbell Highway to Carmacks, on the Klondike Highway. This is a alternative route through the Yukon, that is more remote and more challenging than the Alaska Highway. Check road conditions at the Visitor Center in Watson Lake before departing.
