Its uniqueness is very exhilarating

Mark Mac

Could not believe how many markers were hung up from all over the world.

Zachary Garcia (zakzackzachary)

Very fun it was nice seeing where everyone is from

Nina Pham

So many signs!! From all over the world! Fun to walk through and check out all the different places people have come from to place their sign.

Carol Faust

The signs stopped in time! You could spend hours reading everyone’s signs, definitely a must see when travelling through!

William Livengood

An amazing place...So many Signs and License Plates from all over the World...it is Huge...A must see if traveling to Watson Lake, Yukon Canada.

Michael Wieleba

So cool! A place to visit for sure!

Johanna Marvin

Great little spot. They have signs from all over the world and from over half a century ago. It is very interesting to see that many people have driven the same road as you for the same reasons as you, ADVENTURE! All in all the sign post forest is a must do for any Alaska highway roadtrip. Next time we will bring a sign to add to the collection for sure!

Brooke Bonner

Bring your sign and drop it off. Such a wonderful place to look around and wonder. Nice little break.

richy lau

Was very interesting seeing all the different signs from around the world..

Cindy Milan

Funky, started in 1942. Saw a great bend plate!!

Dawn Maeda

Beautiful, creative sign posts..

Ana De Leon

Traveled through 20+ years ago and definitely didn't have as many signs.

Bill Ducat

Fascinating collection of signs from around the world - especially fun to find signs from my hometown !! Far too many to see them all, in one visit. The replica of original "sign," along with the history of the US soldier who left his mark in the Yukon, is on display in the visitor's center on the site. A unique, "won't see anywhere else" experience!

Michael Lewis

A truly unique place, literally thousands of signs posted by people from all corners of the earth. Has to be seen to fully appreciate.

Omar Tsai

This place keeps growing and is fun to see the many signs people have put up over the years. I found one that my wife and I had put up three years earlier. The signs are made from every material that people had around. You could spend a day looking at signs and not be able to read them all. If your driving stop and add your sign. We had to use a ladder we had in our RV to find a space.

Alex Lu

Take your time and visit this place. So many memories have been created in this place, its magical!

Nazarene Dev

Cool place to see where they came from

Rachel Howard

This place is amazing. It is really cool! Totally come and see it!!

Denise Barlock

Could spend hours looking at all the different signs and trying to find one from your area!

Rick Feller

Worth a stop for sure, cuz it's probably on your way anyway. Chances are you'll see a sign you recognize that you didn't expect to ever see.

Heather Hutchison

So cool! Great place to stretch your legs on a drive. Hangung a sign is really fun too

S. Shawna Minor

Watson Lake BC Mile 0 of the Alaska Hwy Close to 84,000 signs from all over the world. Not possible to take pix of all.

Jonathan Coke

A lots of interesting signs to check out, lots of good info on the area inside the visitors center.

Cindy Rhodes

An unbelievable collection of tables, which travelers prepared, just to bring it to this place. You just don't need more than a minute to find a plate or sign, that someone brought from your hometown...

Daniel Harris

Great walk and fun stop with the kids.

Bart Sagmoen

This was a cool place with a great story

Kim Day

Signs from all over the world. A must see when driving the Alaska highway

Time Traveler

My family LOVED stopping here. So many great signs from people from all over the world.

Ben Schwab

Very cool stop. Leave a sign.

Marquis Knight

Picture spot. Fun place to walk around and see visitors stuff from all over, bring your own sign, nail and hammer.

Leo Li

A fun stop on the way to Whitehorse. I figured out too late that you can bring your own sign and add it to the collection. Pretty cool!

Austin Chambers

Like . It is a nice see while there

Nicole Smith

So many signs, so little time! What a great place to take a break from driving to walk around a bit. There are signs from all over the world!

Phil VanLaar

So cool! Fun to see what places you can find!

Gerard Gardner

Send me a picture of my sign KN4XJ and I'll send you a QSL card. hi

Dylan Soo

We didn’t even know about this otherwise would of brought something from Australia! Loved walking through and seeing all the different licence plates, took a pic of all the provinces we travelled through! Has picnic tables and is right by a fuel station and information building, we had our lunch here on our way through.

Paulette Martinez

Isn't this kinda illegal?

Colonel Stinkfinger

Very interesting place! You can bring your own sign, or there are shops in town where they will make one for you. People at info center are very helpful!

Lindsey G

Cool to visit but I wish there were some signs showing where the oldest signs were.

Holly Giampaolo

This place is so much fun to walk thru!!! If you look long enough, you will find something you can relate to... look on the bulldozer for my contribution...

sally Heppler

A must see!

leslie veenstra

I have to come back, to many signs, not enough time

Nick Lupu

A great stop on a long road trip. A sign from close to home to be sure. A great place for you and the kids to stretch your legs.

Roy Donnesay (Nanabush)

Sooo interesting to see signs from all over the world! Even better to see signs from places familiar to me!

Latica Campbell

This was in Watson Lake a good place to go visit. It is very expensive to buy things there.

Blair Wenzel

We loved it. It was really exciting and interesting.

Steve Presswood

Plan ahead and bring your own sign and tools needed to post it. Cool place to stretch your legs and walk off your lunch.

Hannah Peek

Such a cool find on our road trip

James Espey

Lots of signs and plates from all over the world. Yet to find my NS plate. Going there to pave airport Watson Yukon

Reiner Buchsdrucker

Enjoyed stopping by on our way back from Alaska. Found some signs from Wisconsin..????

Jon Robichaud

Interesting place to check out. Story is that Americans who were building the Alaska Highway were homesick and one worker posted the sign of his hometown. Soon, the others began doing the same until this place became known as the sign post forest. It's cool to walk around and see signs from all over the world. I believe you can leave your own sign but you have to arrange that with the visitor center. It's a lot bigger than I expected.

Nicholas Manara

Nice place, possibility to make your own sign for small price : buy your wood sign in Home Hardware (on the other side of the road) and the visitor centre give you paint, nail and hammer :)

Rob Christiansen

It's a cool place to visit, even if it's really touristy. Watson Lake is almost a required stop on the Alcan so if you gotta stop, you should stretch your legs and see it. But once you have seen it you really don't need to go back. It's just a one-time thing.

stewart gangwer

Unique! Awesome!!!

Spyder Nan

Very interesting. Stopped here in the winter, have to walk through the snow, but it was still worth it!

Adam

Cool attraction in Watson Lake by the Alaska Hwy. See if you can find signs from where you’re from.

Aimee & Mike

This was a very cool site seeing experience. We really enjoyed it.

Benjamin Berthold

Neat stop. Wish I knew about it sooner to bring a sign. Neat idea. Cute cars for kids to play on. Kids loved it and wanted to stay longer.

Ryan Divine

Great place to explore what others have put here already! Our family also put up our own sign!

Dan Myles

The only place in BC you'll ever see this in the world Canada is an amazing place

Benjamin Thurgood

This was the only interesting thing in this town. Good for a break.

John Thomas

Ok, I was not really looking ahead on the highway, and we happened across this amazing place. Stop stretch, find your home town or some other sign that you find meaningful!

Jason Brown

Very cool place! Could use a legit gift shop; Seems like a huge missed opportunity there.

Kayla Grasley

A cool forest of 80,000 plus signs in Watson Lake. A place where there a places to hang out, a stage, and a history of people whom have travelled along the Alaska Highway. This is definitely a must see stop!

nimat alhaffar

This is a piece of Pop Culture that you shouldn't Miss Even if you think it's silly. These type of one of the kind displays are unique and what makes traveling special. Whether you find a sign from your hometown neighboring town or from friends at once came to Alaska there are so many signs that you will be unable to see them all even if you look. Definitely stop at sign Forest wander around and have a one-of-a-kind experience

Spencer Watson

Cool and somewhat surreal to come upon this quirky park after weeks on the road! Worth checking out!

Stephen Guilbert

We stopped by twice this summer, on the way South and on the way North! There is a nice picnic table in the middle of the sign posts for a nice lunch as the kids explored the signs then we visited with the kind ladies in the visitors center. They provided invaluable advice about the road ahead and fun coloring books and challenges to engage the kids for the next few days! Definitely a double win!

Brick Family Adventures

Really neat place to visit and you can spend hours looking at all the signs.

Lisa Friend

The Signpost Forest in Watson Lake was fascinated. The US army soldier who had been homesick and put the signpost at Watson Lake in 1942 while they built Alcan highway from Dawson Creek to Whitehouse during the Second World War. In 1986, there were over 5000 signs, including the original signpost of dated 1942. Today it has over 90,000 signposts, but the old "1942" signpost was no longer there. The information center at Signpost Forest was friendly and helpful.

Randy J

Surreal maximus.

Kaitlyn Frey

70,000+ signs! Very cool… bring your own sign from home to add to the collection.

Wadders

wow, so many signs, I loved it

Mary Reiley

This is our first time here. Pretty neat!

Gordon Rosser

My hometown has a sign in the middle of the Yukon. Crazy!

LCD PLASMA INSTALLATION

You can't help but wander for hours checking out all the signs people have left. Pretty amazing story, definitely worth the stop

Kevin Lee

Over 88,000 sign post as of 2018 count... A must stop for travelers from all over the world.

Klaus Koenig

It very much does what it says on the tin. Prepare to spend hours looking for a sign from your hometown - it's probably there....somewhere.

Samantha McGowan

I first saw this in 1981. Been back a few times. Great place to visit if you are driving through.

Becci CpModem

Strange, unique stop. It's fun to wander through looking for where signs have come from

John Jacobsen

Super cool, crazy seeing how they come from all over the world to visit. Didn't quite see many from my area of the world. Need some more Manitobans to visit!

Robert Threadgill

Beware: extremely frustrating if you are looking for a particular sign! 90,000+ signs means your chances are slim.

Alannah Monica

The Sign Post Forest is always a stop, to check on our sign and remember past trips driving the Alcan.

Lyle Pitts

must visit

Robert Not Bob

Love the peace and old trucks in there

Tim Purvis

88000.00 signs to look at !!! Lots to see

Roamin' Rich

It's just nostalgic to see something left by eight yourself years later, or by someone else that made the epic drive also. I can't give this place 6 stars but it should get it.

Troy Remy

We were just passing through Watson Lake when we stumbled upon the Sign forest. WOW, allow for a couple hours to read the 10,000 plus signs.

Adrian Meyer

Over 80 thousand signs of different varieties all posted up here. Quite amazing if you think about it. The people in the. Visitor center were extremely nice. A fun place to attach you legs if you are on a long trip.

Dale Heffernan

It keeps going and going and going! So many interesting signs from different places around the world and times.

Amanda Gornik

Sign forest was OK but the town is a dump. All businesses appear to be owned by a few families. All the bars are open only for 3 hours a day from 11am to 2pm. Streets are a series of large potholes. Stores are delapitated with extremely poor selection of goods. Try to plan your trip so you don't have to eat drink or sleep in Watson Lake.

Julie Ferwerda

You have to see it at least once

Blair Rombough

Sure has grown since 1st there in'59.

OHM ohmmassagetherapy

Should someone be nearby, would it be possible to post a photo of my old shield? Thank you

CS Whelihan

Very interesting,signs from all over the world

Frank J. Müller

Amazing amount of signs

Laurence MacKenzie

A very cool spot after a VERY long drive... ????

Manfred G

So many signs from so many different cities and countries

Charles Kashary Jr.

Doesn't seem like someplace you'd want to check out. But I promise, if you've traveled you will recognize a lot of places here. Worth a look.

Debbie Dietsch

Nice historic place to visit with your family. We had a blast seeing signs from all over the world. Very neat!

Jason Barrett

Nice scenery for tired eyes

Darwin Feakes

I exactly what it is so I gave it that many stars . It wasn that fantastic but great time to get out and stretch on the road . It's cool but no wow factor of any sort .

Kay Grote

Very cool reading all of the signs

Doug Williamson

So amazing. Such a cool place.

Serge Comeau

Incredible!

Gonzague Martinez Bosc

Most amazing collection of road signs I've seen

Awesome !!! I even left my own sign, search for Gonzo 2019

Harjot Grewal

A must visit attraction in the Yukon!

Robert Gmelin

So so fun. We brought signs from home to hang and we enjoyed seeing the ones there already.

tasker devere

Its nice my experience in the Yukon well just say I well never go there to visit they are rude

Kathie Harrop

This was very cool to see and read the signs. Only wished I'd brought one. Next time for sure!! Don't forget yours

Dan Mitchell

I drove through this town had to go to the silver tip mine and when I seen it looked cool but didnt stop

Debbie

It's interesting, don't get me wrong.... but did you really come into one of the most beautiful areas of Canada to look at some stolen street signs. Go take a drive down the 37, or hit any side trail in the area... forget the signpost forest, stop and spend a few days and explore the back-country here

Janice McDonald

Only attractions in town, the best and the worst.

Damian Online

Such a cool stop! If you are driving along the Alaska Highway, make sure you set aside at least an hour or two for the Sign Post Forest. I actually had no idea this was here until I stopped for gas across the street, but it was such a unique experience! There are THOUSANDS of signs here from all over the world and it's fun walking around looking for signs from places you have been! Truly a one-of-a-kind place.

Doug Stirling

Just an amazing place to see!

Bpraim

Very cool place to visit, to bad we could only see it in passing.

Sarah Rankin

Interesting, but I wouldn't spend more than ten minutes there.

Micah Price

very cool stop with all kinds of signs from travelers.

Rebecca “Becky” Hicks

The sign post forest is fun to look around but don't miss out in the visitor center right being it. The ladies in there were the kindest and most helpful people I have come across in a long time, and I couldn't wipe the smile off my face when I left them.

Leo Romano

Even though it is very large, they continue to add new posts. There are some landmarks so you can find your sign in the future.

william warren

Very interesting place.

Rejuvenate

A quick stop but awesome experience! I definitely recommend going!

C Lippert

Fun spot to stop on your way to Alaska or taking the l loop.

Steven Mansour

Really interesting to walk through all the signs. You can get screws (and borrow a screw driver) at the very helpful Visitor Centre.

Darren Kirby

Incredible...how many signs...

Ethan Anderson

Pretty cool place

It is a wonderful experience that the soldiers from the US went through the building of the Alaska Highway in 1942

An amazing stop. The amount and types of signs that are here are outstanding and it is nice to see that everyone has their own way to leave a signature

Zach Woock

There are so much signs you can find one feom almost every part of world and still browse for hours and hours and not see all of them. Great park-like place.

Stef Yogaontop

Great place look for places near your home different states mybe were you or other family members were born to cool have fun

Lynn Tatro

Passing through on my way to Anchorage. First time on the alcan highway so I posted my sign. Very hard to find a spot but with some looking I managedto find a spot not too far away from where my mom and dad had hung their sign several years ago. Fun experience checking out all the signs from all over the world.

Doomsi Something (Doomsidoodeedoo)

Great way for people to share where they traveled from. Has grown since the first time we saw it in 1996.

Lukáš Več

It has grown in the number of signs from when I was last here in '96. Amazed how Europeans bring such large signs on an airplane!?

Ross Fulton

Interesting to search through them all for places we've been.

Genita Thirlwell

Memory maker square of traveler's souvenir signs from the world.

Justin Knowlton

This is just so cool to walk around! You get to travel the world in just a short walk!

SD

I am surprised by the forest. I arrived Watson lake as midway for going to Whitehorse. Then I saw the forest here. Amazing

Esther Kow

Pretty cool

Matthew Barela

Nice place !

LeeAnna Springer

Great place to see variety of boards from all over the world. You can put up your own sign post here.

Octavio Ruiz

If you're in the Yukon this is a must see.

U.B. Fury

Love this place it's so unique!

Tim Lindsay

What a special place!

Daniel AJ Sokolov

Lovely walk, nicer staff

Mikayla Ide

Our friends and ourselves posted 2 signs in 2014, they are both gone. Let's see if our new one will still be here next time we return!

Luke Cimino

It's a MUST SEE event... self-guided, of course!

Martin Hall

One of our stops from our road trip to Ontario. The Sign Post Forrest in Watson Lake is an interesting tourist spots and pit stop when you are leaving the Yukon via Trans Canada Highway

Erica Rowley

Truly incredible experience walking around this larger than expected forest of people sharing a piece of their home towns. This "forest" has an incredible history and is a way to add to local history and culture by adding a sign of your own.

Amy Sciezer

So many signs from all over the world. Just amazing! Too many to even begin to count! Nice photo op.

Desmond Hedderson

Loved the sign post forest! We traveled from Ontario and were able to find a spot for our sign. Such a cool place :)

Will Quarton

Great thing too see!!! A must STOP!

li haichuan

Unique stop on the Alcan highway.

Bill Cibart

Loved it signs from all over the world, must see.

Trina B

A rare moment of surprise to see signs from all over the world

Allison Shrestha

This place was so cool! All kinds of signs from all over the world. It really made me feel connected.

Denise “Nesie54” Vogel

Absolutely incredible, there must be 10,000 license plates, and other things people leave there (plates they write on, little bitty flip flops).

Liliana Figueroa Cordoba

A popular tourist site, thousands of stolen signs from around the world

Murray Milne

Great place awsome to see all those signs

Light

Quirky little stop with signs from all over the country / continent / world. Fun to walk around the displays and try to imagine all the stories of folks who've passed through here before. Area is kept clean and it's real easy to find (right through the main street of town, on your right before leaving towards Whitehorse). You can also bring your own sign to leave here or graffiti one of the farm vehicles with a sharpie.

Frank Humphreys

Spent too much time here, it can be addictive looking for familiar signs.

Laura Minogue

Always a fun stop in our travels.

Jeff Samson

What a history... The entire story can be found at the Museum across the street.

Brian Norton

This place was more than I expected. I thought it was going to be a janky little place with signs etc. But once we got there and saw the massiveness of what it was we were blown away. It's fun to see signs you know from your home state or town and places you've been. Plan ahead and bring a sign if you wish to contribute. currently there are over 80,000 signs...That's impressive. Stop if you're in the area.

Michael James

Though this place hasn't anything apart from the licence plates.. It holds a historic significance and a good place for taking shots. I would recommend tourists to get something in remembrance of their trips and add that to this post.. Many have done and it's a good memory..

Brent “Soonta REtire” Dreamer

This is such a neat little spot sort of in the middle of no where, but you can't miss it passing through Watson Lake. It's definitely worth a stop - to add your own license plate or sign! Apparently this spot has the most stolen property in one area! It's like an art installation meets graveyard. You can see signs from all over the world, and many license plates and wooden posts with names and locations etched in. As you walk through the "trees" of signs and license plates you can't help but wonder the stories behind every piece. Did that person drive without a plate? Did they get caught? Were they on their way to Alaska? How did such a big sign from Germany get here? Is that a population sign from a small town in the states? Did they plan to steal it and bring it here or was it just sitting in their car? Did they fly with a sign? So many questions but no real answers.

Luc Cote

Stopped there in 1986 when I was 11 years old while traveling from Michigan to Fairbanks, AK. Will never forget that delightful roadside attraction. Just wished I had a sign to hang!

paul robinson

A must stop and see. The history is awesome and its a great way to spend some interseting time on a long road trip.

John

Amazing and fun imo.

BennyMac

Simply believable. Thousands of signs from cities all over the world.

Milton Ruiz

Very interesting and a great piece of Alaska Hwy history.

Norma Cardinal

If you are driving the Alcan, you gotta stop here in Watson Lake.

cliffton boyle

This is a truly unique landmark. Spend some time here looking around.

Sharp Life

It is a very interesting place to stop on the road to Whitehorse. People from all over the world have put up signs from where they are from or just to commemorate their trip. There are some very interesting signs. Would recommend anybody stopping there to have a look. And also bring their own sign to add. As spaces fill they just add more posts to put up more signs. Don't know how many signs there are but must be up in the thousands.

Steven Kalmes

I have always heard about it. Glad I finally saw all the signs

Derek Lee

Such a cool place to wander through to see where visitors have come from. Bring a sign with a hammer & nails or drill & schools. Rows and rows of signs.

Jason Drury

To see the entire world by License plates and road signs! Pretty cool!

Alicia Leon

Pretty interesting to find signs from all over the world here in little Watson Lake ! Who knows maybe you can find signs from your home town !

Jerry Yen

Not sure how many signs are here but I am guessing upwards of 85 or 90,000. So cool seeing large signs from all over the world. We put ours up near the K.Y.D. sign as we watch them on YouTube. A must see if you're passing through Watson Lake, Yukon.

Michael

Big fun.

Kelly Beveridge

Very interesting seeing all the places people have visited from.

lost soul

Entertaining site trying to find signs and plates from your hometown. Pretty cool and unique attraction.

BJ Wallen

There is nothing better than roadside kitsch.

Jerald Taylor

Nice historic place. Bring a sign.

Katrina Bishop

What a wonderful unexpected jewel! Our hostesses Trudy and Rena were so helpful, giving us awesome tips for our next drive. We put up our own sign, too! Oh, and there's COFFEE!!!!!!!!! THE GALLERY AND MINIFILM ARE AWESOME, TOO! What w obderful representatives for Canada and the a lake Watson area!!

Stephen Juza

The Sign Post Forest is a place to get lost in, ha ha!! Signs from around the world

Never Lamb

Worth the stop!

Ender Meh

Interesting place, Welcome Center closed this time of year

Jody Lefebvre

One of a kind place. Dont miss it. Spend some time here and put up your own sign.

Kayla Elenbaas

Interesting and worthwhile stop when going through Watson Lake. You can browse unique personalized signs from all over the world and/or make your own if you so wish. Right next to the tourist centre as well where they have free coffee, wifi and useful information.

Austin Coolidge

Interesting attraction that was started in the 1940s by a homesick highway worker when the Alaska Highway was being built. In 2004, there were over 55,000 signs posted by visitors.

Sash Johnson

Thousands of signs to look at. We had a family competition to find a certain sign first. It was great fun. The visitor centre has nails and screws for you to mount your own sign and mark your name in history.

Jeff Ross

Awesome place , William Warren, North Carolina

Amanda Cochran

Always a cool place to walk around after a stop for lunch. Fun!

Hal Press

Really cool place to visit. The only issue was we had a person bug us for change, but we are from Prince Albert, sask. It made us feel like we were home.

Radek Páterek

Definitely worth a stop.

Touareg Travel Edge (W D)

Very cool they have a count in the visitor center 88 000 plus so if your going threw Watson lake make sure to stop and put up your own sign

Gloria Worley

If the posts could talk!

James Campbell

Interesting to walk around and see all the various locales that are represented. Visitor Center on the property open 8a-8p from late spring to early autumn. Staff there super friendly and helpful in terms of the local and regional areas.

Dave Jones

It is what it says it is, lol. A very fun stop on the Alaska Highway.

Tyson Doonan

Freakin sweet, theres no way you can read them all. Must see!

Larry Baran

Such a unique place! I love it!

Jim Patton

This is a fun place to visit. It is amazing how much it has grown since the first time we visited the forest 15 years ago.

Parker Freeman

Great place to stop for a little walk. Some cool personal history.

Bil Segui

Nice place. Find your home place.

rudel stricker

If you're traveling through the Alaska highway, this is a must! Plan to watch the 18 minute video inside, it makes your trip on the highway more interesting with a brief history on it.

James C

We had the best lady helping us! She was really knowledgeable and easy to talk to.

Randy Clark

great memory location

Robert Schlager

Very friendly staff, neat place all in general. Bring and sign with your and make your own mark on history.

rudd plate

One of the coolest little stops along the road into Yukon from Northern BC. Definitely worth stopping and stretching your legs while you walk through the "forest" and check out signs from all over the world. Even left a sign of my own behind - feel free to do so just find a spot on one of the "trees"

Mark Hurst

Something different

Janaya Repas

Super cool. Thousands of signs. Really fun to see how far away they can get.

doug richards

Awesome to see sign posted from all over. Look for a sign I left in 2008 grown so much needle in hay stack.

Mikel Dabbah

Really cool place dont forget to bring a sign!

Simba Ngeruka

Never expected so many signs

lewis

Its a fantastic place in the Alaska Highway!!

Jonathan Gilder

This is a fascinating place to stop in Watson Lake. You really could spend an entire day wandering through the truely huge place. With dozens of signs and small notes to read you really can get lost just wandering through searching for your home town and wondering what the stories are for the people who have left these behind.

Bernel Sawyer

Quaint quick stop right on the Alcan!! Find a sign from your neck of the woods!!

GWoo

Get lost and bewildered!

Edward Santillan

Really awesome to look at!!!

Jarad Carter

Awesome, unexpected and quirky as hell. Loved it!

Rob Brown

Ya gotta stop there on your way to ALASKA..

Enoch Leisure

Signs from everywhere. They claim there's over 70,000 signs. Now there's 2 more.

John “Bruser”

Definitely worth a look

Kyle Laws

Stopped there this week. 40 below, sunshine and 6” of powdery snow on the ground around the signs. So cool. Do not miss this, it’s a must see.

Keith AKA LastRide

This place is definitely worth the stop. It's awesome!

Jessica Bermel

Loved it... and now I have my very own...

kelli bologna

The sign post forest is a totally free spirited phenomenon. Just happened to find a couple from Aiken, SC where I used to live. It started out when some of the Alaska Highway builders placed signs indicating where they lived and many people have added over the years. Nothing spectacular, but signs from all over the world.

Nathan Schultz

A must see. Be sure to bring your own sign to add. All types and shapes of signs.

Rob Deighton

Kitschy, but worth the stop. There are signs from all over the globe. It's fun to try and find signs from places you've been to or otherwise know. At the very least, it's good for a liesurely walk after having been in the car for many hours.

jordy grovestine

Something unique and different with signs from all over the world. Interesting to wonder about and look at while you take a break from driving.

Ivan Mast

A must see!! People from all over the world have printed signs with their name, country and date. They are signs, hats, sunglasses, shirts, boots. You name it and it has been left here as a memory.

WIlliam Cummins

Awesome!!!

Ted Ayles

Well many years ago I took a group of Boy Scouts to Alaska after a brief visit at the Canadian Scout jamboree. I’m now living in British Columbia and enjoying a never ending dream. My plans are to travel the Alaska Highway revisiting memories. Detective work will have to be done to locate the 20th Cambridge Scout Groups sign there at the Sign Forest near Watson Lake; era 1995 year of the Lord. Gypsy Bob

Clayton Bates

Cool and interesting, the workers in the visiter center are all very kind and helpful. Definitely stop in if your traveling by.

Judy Dodson

Nice stop on the highway. They have community arena behind this and you can take shower. Also you can watch Aurora shows.

Patti Burton

This is a must stop on your Alaskan Highway adventure.

Bobbi Padron

A novelty that's fun to visit. One may spot signs of places or people they know...or not. Either way, it's a good stop on the long road between Alaska and southern Alberta.

Richard Ferris

I stop almost every week at this place. Friendly staff, good food for people on the go or simply you can sit an enjoy at the dinning area (Opened again during COVID-19 with the new normal restrictions and social distancing ). The variety store has a lot of stuff and prices are not bad at all.

Abby Micku

Had to stop and add our sign, was a little set back with the change in atmosphere around the park. Things are not so nice.

Terry Tauriainen

Amazing spot I wish we'd brought a sign didn't really realize what was going on.

Nancy Johnson

Charlotteruthbryant Bryant

Great little road side stop with sign posts from everywhere!

Daniela Rank

Good but not in the winter since they are covered in snow

Tom Sullivan

WOW!!! AMAZING PLACE I STAYED ABOUT 5 HOURS IT'S GREAT

Megan S

Very cool place to stop and visit, and make sure you put up a sign.

Joseph Pavlic

I always stop here to see what is new and enjoy the area. Great place to play Pokemon Go. You can easily earn gold in a gym because the turnover is slow.

Tonya Mangan

Watson lake sign post forest. I left a license plate here back in 2012 on my first stop in Watson lake. Couldn't find it so took a couple of pictures to remind me where I left our new sign. Its interesting to read some of the personalized signs travellers leave behind.

David Ellingsen

It's such a strange attraction that just keeps getting bigger. Search for your own country, and you'll find it. Search for even your city and you'll probably find it. Leave a mark for other visitors to know you were here. It's just the human version of a dog marking on a post.

Kay Macaulay

Fun to walk through and see all the signs from around the world.

Vicki Weller

What's there not to like?! Bring a drone to capture the scope and entirety of this forest!

Michael Ackeral

Way bigger then I expected. What a sight!

Donna Bornholdt

Easy pit stop, rest place to get out and stretch legs. Kids love it because in the center of the signs there are old tractors they can climb on and take pictures. Benches throughout to rest and view signs. Unique and cute.

Annie Rice

Nostalgia at its finest. Coming from Florida it instills a sense of pride in what was accomplished by the last generation before boomers. It also has an overnight parking campground with restrooms and showers and breakfast. Ask about the American currency discount and save a few bucks.

liza mclaughlin

A must visit on the road to Alaska .. bring something to nail up and let everyone see your sign

Joe Grussing

Interesting place :D

Laurel De La Cruz

I was moving from Alaska to Mississippi in 2008. It qas a very long drive going along the AL-CAN... the road u can take from Alaska thru Canada to the lower 48 atates. Its a wonderful experience because not only isthe drives scenery breathtaking but there have intereating things all along the way to srop & enjoy. One of my absolute favorite is the Sign Post Forest. My only complaint is i didnt hve enough time to walk around & see them all!!!

The visitor center is moved next to the sign forest in an athletic building. Apparently the pipes froze in the actual building. It's a great experience, with a movie. The staff are amazing, and friendly. There is quite a hodgepodge of signs in the forest. Be sure to bring a sign with you. It is quite amazing that it all started with a pole holding "distance to" signs. We drove a thousand miles and back in two days, just to visit this historic place.

Danielle Polsom

Lots of fun.

Ken White

This is definitely a cool place. I've never quite seen so many signs in one area. About 80,000 signs from all over the world. Give yourself a couple hours to go through everything.

Llama Rama

Really cool touristy spot that worth a stop or atleast a slow drive by!

Josef Utíkal

Super cool place to check out

Robert Austin

Awesome, one of a kind and full of history!

Thorben Schmidt

Unique spot for a pic.

Randall Brown

Great historical legacy of the cooperative effort between the U S and Canada to build the Alaska Highway. Found the sign my wife and I put up on our way through when we were dating and added the kids' names to it. Not a lot to do other than look at the signs and some old equipment. The inventiveness and humor of some of the sign makers if interesting. Bring something to make your own sign from, and something to hang it with.

robert brukardt

Really neat. Found signs from 1960’s. Left our own.

Evan Marell

This place needs a morningwood drive sign

Zac Woodward

Crazy how many signs!!

Tyler G

A great piece of history, that just keeps growing.

Fay Zilkowsky

Loved it , been by it many times but finally stopped to see it in the daylight :)

Doug LaVeau

This time of year not good as the snow prevents you from seeing all the signs, as you can see from my picture.

jean alex

Nice to read how far away some people have come to visit the Yukon.

Leon Lupien

So cool knowing there are so many places to see here on earthq

Special place started in 1942 by a homesick soldier from Illinois who was working construction on the Alaska Highway. It is spectacular! Too many signs to count...and you can't stop looking!

richard Reimer

Such a cool roadside stop. Wish I had been ready with a sign to add!

Nick roy

Just Friggen Awsome ! Like a Walk Through Time and Geographic Memories for me. As I have Travelled through Many of these Places in North America last 30 Years as Long Haul truck driver

Morgan Intrieri

Very very very cool place! I love how it got started with a man in the 40s who didn't want to be forgotten and how it has lived on with folks being able to leave their presence here. It's quite the humbling place and highly recommend others come and visit.

Hatata Butata

I thought this place was really fun. Signposts from all over the world. If you're driving through its worth a stop. Right off the highway!

kendra davis

Don't forget a hammer, nail, and something you can leave behind. Perfect place to stop and strech and get the kids stoked about the road trip.

Patti B Johnson

Great place to grab gas, lunch, a few groceries and some great tasting Yukon Gold beer.

dennis smith

What a neat experience!!! Very glad we happened across this experience!

Patrick He Bear

A unique landmark, the Sign Post Forest is a collection of road signs and personal messages that began in 1942. U.S. Army G.I. Carl Lindley, in the area to work on the construction of the Alaska Highway, placed a sign with the direction and distance to his hometown of Danville, Illinois. Others copied his action and the tradition continued to this day, with the 10000th sign being erected in 1990. Lindley and his wife returned to the site in 1992, 50 years after he placed his initial sign. The site is maintained by the town of Watson Lake, along with the adjacent Alaska Highway Interpretive Centre. While there's no "service" to speak of, it's a cool landmark with a neat history and worth visiting if you are in the area. Be sure to bring materials for a sign; we used a campstove and a metal hanger as an impromptu wood-burning tool...

Bob Colby

Super cool! I even found signs from my hometown of Kalamazoo, MI!

Jo-Anne Nitsche

ginni brown

Interesting spot! Loads of signposts.

Ben Devellano

Bring something to post. On my drive to Alaska I did not have anything to hang and on my next trip I will. Anyone who has ever driven will know what I mean when I say I can't wait to do again

Timothy Colwell

Not a planned stop, but what a travel treat! So fun to just stop in this strange place with so much history and thousands of stories. Fun to just stroll through and wonder about all the signs and license plates from around the world!

Fun place. Definitely worth a stop.

Debbie Catanzarite
