Come to Atlin for the annual Atlin Arts and Music Festival on July 10, 11, 12. Free camping.

Discover Atlin!

Atlin is a small isolated community in the NW corner of British Columbia, on the traditional lands of the Taku River Tlingits. Glacial-fed Atlin Lake is 4 miles wide and 85 miles long, in a wide wilderness valley surrounded by snowcapped mountains.

Atlin is a 2 to 3 hour drive from Whitehorse Yukon or Skagway Alaska. Current population is up to 400 full-time residents. During the Klondyke Gold Rush of 1898, the population was 10,000! Many buildings from that era still exist.

Though Mining and Tourism underpin the economy of Atlin, there is a large and very influential colony of artists, artisans and authors in this very special little-known community.

Summer's here! The weather is hot & sunny ; Lupine, Arnica, Jacob's Ladder, Dogwood and Wild Roses are in bloom; the lake is like glass. Evergreens are sending out plumes of yellow pollen to fill the air and to wash up on the beaches.

Check this week's Weather Forecast for Atlin.
