GATEWAY TO YUKON RECREATION
FUN CAPITAL EXTRAORDINAIRE
Plan your next visit to Watson Lake and be
prepared to PLAY! Perhaps jet boating on
the Liard River, check out the waterslide or
beach volleyball at Lucky Lake. Water ski,
camp, swim, or maybe a peaceful nature
hike within our spectacular trail system. Like
to play in the fall and winter? How about a
guided hunt, alpine or nordic cross country
skiing, snowmobiling, or maybe an afternoon
of ice fishing.
RECREATION CENTRE
Late in 2000, the Town of Watson Lake
further enhanced its appeal in unveiling a new
$7,000,000 recreation centre. This marvel
features a community hall, meeting rooms,
squash courts, fitness room, a youth centre,
bowling alley, hockey arena, and curling club.
The facility can accommodate a variety of
tournaments and league play and includes
concessions, generous spectator seating,
great heated viewing areas, five dressing
rooms, and separate quarters for officials.
MOUNT MAICHEN SKI HILL
Mt. Maichen is a volunteer run ski hill providing
skiing and snowboarding to the community of
Watson Lake. Operated by the Watson Lake
Ski Club.
MEETING PLACE
Our meeting and banquet rooms range
from 600 to 6,000 sq ft and arena dry floor
space provides additional areas of up to 16,740
sq ft. We have full kitchen and bar facilities
available, or you may wish to take advantage
of local caterers. There are a number of
accommodations for you also. Whether it’s a
small business meeting, or much larger gala,
from trade shows to festivals and sporting
events, we can meet each requirement.
COME AND PLAY!
You’ll find this community, and its many
attractions, among the finest in the Yukon,
the toughest part will be leaving.
