Kawnlin Dün First Nation Asking Public to Exercise Caution Around Fish Lake Trail

Wednesday, 19 September 2018 11:27

One of the many great views along the Fish Lake Trail.

The First Nation is asking hikers to give hunters a wide berth when using the trail as fall hunting season begins.

The Kwanlin Dün First Nations is asking the public to exercise caution in regards to the upcoming fall hunting season that will occur around the Fish Lake area for its citizens.

Kwanlin Dün First Nation notes hikers should restrict themselves to hiking on the Fish Lake hiking trail between 10am-5pm, travel in high-visibility clothing, and to leash their dogs.

Kwanlin Dün First Nation Chief Doris Bill also highlights the Bonneville Lakes and Fish Lake area have been traditional First Nations hunting areas for generations, and asks locals to be respectful and responsible on the trail that lies on Kwanlin Dün First Nations Territory.

Land Operations Manager Brandy Mayes invites the public as well to say high and converse when they see Kwanlin Dün Land Stewards in the area.

Anyone with questions can gain access online to the Yukon's government's land viewer page or call the Kwanlin Dün First Nation at 867-633-7800.
