Dease Lake is a small community of about 400 located just a few hours south of the Yukon border. It is a common stopping point for fuel, food, and a break from the long road ahead. Although Dease Lake is small and remote, it has amenities to support the community, including a K-12 school, a Northern Lights College Campus, government services, police and fire hall, and many businesses. The Stikine region is one of the most spectacular pristine wilderness areas remaining virtually untamed. The Stikine Region encompasses an area of 153,600 sq. km. and is the home of the Stikine River, one of the last free-flowing wilderness rivers in North America. Mining makes up the most substantial industry, however, with the extensive hunting and fishing in the area there are several guiding outfits. Check out Dease Lake for more information on this unique rural community.
