Aishihik Lake, Mountain lake in Yukon, Canada
The northern section of Aishihik Lake contains shallow bays with fish spawning grounds, surrounded by mountain ranges at 1013 meters elevation.
The United States Army constructed an airport near Aishihik Lake during the Alaska Highway development, which the Department of Transport operated until the 1960s.
The Southern Tutchone people named the lake Äshèyi, meaning 'at the end of the mountain range,' and established villages along its protected northern shores.
Visitors can access Aishihik Lake through connecting routes from the Alaska Highway, with twenty seasonal houses and camping facilities available near the water.
The Aishihik hydroelectric facility, built in 1975, operates 110 meters underground and generates 25 percent of Yukon's total energy production.
