A must-see spot on a historic highway, Watson Lake offers nature, outdoor recreation and a chance to leave your mark in the Sign Post Forest. Watson Lake is a town in Yukon, Canada, located at mile 635 on the Alaska Highway close to the British Columbia border. It had a population of 1,133 in 2021.
Watson Lake’s most recognizable landmark is unique, endearing and a little bit wacky—in a good way. A simple act by a homesick American soldier in 1942 began what would become the Sign Post Forest. While building the Alaska Highway, the soldier posted a sign pointing in the direction of his hometown more than 4,300 kilometres away. Visitors from around the world have since posted their own signs, creating a one-of-a-kind attraction.
