Atlin, British Columbia, Canada – 2007. The town of Atlin is located on the eastern shore or Atlin Lake in North Western British Columbia. Atlin Lake is the largest lake in BC. The town of Atlin is one of the many “Gold Rush” towns in BC, Yukon and Alaska and there is lots of evidence of this history in the town and surrounding region, especially the cemetery which has lots of examples of the hard life many of the early residents faced. Atlin’s current population is less than 500, gold mining continues along with tourism and fishing as the major activities that bring people there.
