Kusawa Territorial Park, Protected wilderness area in Yukon, Canada
Kusawa Territorial Park is a protected wilderness area in Yukon that spans forests, mountains, and rivers centered around the large Kusawa Lake. The lake forms the geographical heart of the park and shapes its overall landscape.
Indigenous communities inhabited this land for thousands of years before it became a protected territory in the 20th century. This long human presence shaped the landscape and its ecological patterns.
The land holds deep meaning for Kaska Dena and other Indigenous peoples who continue to share their connection to it through stories and practices visible to visitors today.
The park offers camping areas, hiking trails, and boat launches available during summer months. Visitors should prepare for remote conditions and bring necessary equipment.
The lake holds populations of lake trout and Arctic grayling that draw anglers from across the region. These fish populations make the area a known destination for those seeking northern fishing.
