Nature & Parks

Misty Chicken Lake at Natthimmel

In the heart of the Yukon, between the small, forgotten towns of Mayo and Chicken, lies the enigmatic Misty Lake. This secluded body of water, perpetually cloaked in a thick, eerie fog, is a place where silence and shadows dominate. Tall, ancient pines encircle the lake, their dark green needles shrouded in mist, casting ghostly silhouettes along the shore. The trees seem to guard Misty Chicken Lake, their towering forms swaying slightly, as if murmuring secrets to the fog. Even on still days, a damp chill clings to the air, hinting at mysteries hidden deep within the shadowy waters. Locals say the pines remember everything, and that under a full moon, the forest whispers to those brave enough to listen.
