From the community of
Dease Lake, you can take a side trip back in time. The drive takes you through caribou meadows, narrow canyons, lava beds and past native settlements to the head of riverboat navigation on the Stikine River. Telegraph Creek was named for its role as a construction access point for the failed New York to London telegraph line.
With a population of 450, the community has changed very little since the turn-of-the century gold rush.
