Until 2016,[2][3] Kluane Lake was fed by the A'ay Chu (Slims River),[1] which was composed of meltwater from the Kaskawulsh Glacier, located within Kluane National Park. Kluane Lake drains into the Kluane River, whose waters flow into the Donjek River, White River, Yukon River, and eventually the Bering Sea. The lake has a high density of large-bodied lake trout and whitefish[1]: 1 and is known for its fishing.
