Lake Kasba

Lake Kasba lies near the northern edge of the forest, at the headwaters of the Kazan River. Its name comes from a Dene word for the white partridge or ptarmigan. From here the river flows north through a chain of lakes towards the treeless barrens. Dene and Inuit ancestors travelled the Kazan country in summer for thousands of years, leaving traces of camps and hunting grounds along its shores and waterways.
