Dease Lake

Dease Lake occupies the southern end of its namesake lake in northwestern British Columbia. Set amid the lake-and-forest country of the Stikine region, this small community lies on Highway 37, the Cassiar Highway, a principal road through this sparsely populated part of the province. The lake was named for Peter Warren Dease, a 19th-century fur trader and explorer, while the surrounding area forms part of Tahltan traditional territory. Dease Lake serves as a practical stop for travellers continuing north toward Yukon or south through the Cassiar country, with services reflecting its role as an interior road community.
