Kathleen Lakes, Group of lakes in Yukon, Canada.

The Kathleen Lakes system consists of multiple bodies of fresh water spanning 3,376 hectares within Kluane National Park at 731 meters elevation.

The North-West Mounted Police officer William Hume named these lakes after a girl from Berwickshire County, Scotland during his station period from 1900 to 1902.

The Southern Tutchone people refer to the main lake as Mät'àtäna Mǟn, translating to 'something frozen inside lake' in their native language.

The lakes feature developed facilities including a boat launch, campground, day-use area, and multiple marked hiking trails connecting to the Kluane National Park network.

The waters contain a specialized population of kokanee salmon, which adapted to live their entire lifecycle in the freshwater environment without ocean migration.
