Kinaskan Trail

Kinaskan Lake lies in the country of the Tahltan, along the Iskut River system. Its Tahltan name, Kiniskan, means “raft crossing,” preserving a point of passage in a landscape of lakes and rivers. Trails across the northern interior linked the Stikine and Iskut country with the Spatsizi plateau and communities farther east. Tahltan people used these routes to travel through their homeland and maintain ties with neighbours.
