"The park encompasses four major lake areas": Chadburn Lake, Chadden Lake, Hidden Lakes, and Long Lake.
Note: The Chadburn Lake Park Management Plan was adopted at the June 26, 2017 meeting of City Council.
Background:
The City process to develop a management plan for this park has begun. If you want to be added to the City's Chadburn email list or have questions, send an email to regionalparks@whitehorse.ca or call 689-2973.
The public is being asked to identify key values and management objectives. Public participation will occur over the winter and spring of 2016. The Management Plan will provide a framework on how to manage the recreational, environmental and heritage values. The Chadburn Plan is expected to be the template for the Plans that will be developed for the other 4 regional parks (see City Parks Planning tab for info on the Regional Parks Plan on these 5 parks).
