| Carcross | 446 (2008) |
Carcross was a significant location during the Klondike Gold Rush. All of the stampeders using the Chilkoot Trail, the White Pass Trail or the White Pass and Yukon Railroad passed through Carcross. Prior to the completion of the railroad in 1899, the Chilkoot and White Pass trails converged just south of Bennet. At Bennet a huge boat building industry flourished. The wooden boats were small βriver runnersβ that had a chance of surviving the Whitehorse Rapids in the Yukon River, one of the most dangerous parts of the trip.
Once a boat was acquired at Bennet the rest of the journey to Dawson could be done on the water. The boats could travel the full length of Lake Bennet to the narrow strait at Carrcross then through the northern end of Tagish Lake, into Marsh Lake and then the Yukon River.
