Reviews of Sign Post Forest (Website Designer)

Darren Wheeler

Great place awsome to see all those signs

JJ’s Custom Fabrications

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

Joppalo

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.

continueDon Simcock

Ya gotta stop there on your way to ALASKA..

Mark Mac

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

Zachary Garcia (zakzackzachary)

Wow this place has grown! Worth checking out!!

Nina Pham

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

Carol Faust

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.

William Livengood

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!

Michael Wieleba

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"

Johanna Marvin

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!

Brooke Bonner

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

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

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!

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

Rhonda Martinez

A much to see

Denise Barlock

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.

Rick Feller

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

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

Time Traveler

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.

Ella Bae

(Translated) Anyone can sign or post anything. So, there are so many different signs stuck all over like tombstones. ㅎㅎ It was a section with not much walking distance, but it was unique. Heh (Original) 아무나 무엇이든 사인.포스트를 붙여놓을수 있는곳. 그래서 정말 다양한 사인들이 마치 묘비처럼 온통 닥지닥지 붙어 있는곳. ㅎㅎ구경거리 별로 없는 구간이었는데 나름 특이했어요. ㅎ

Ben Schwab

Interesting place, Welcome Center closed this time of year

Marquis Knight

Rows and rows of signs and license plates from a huge variety of places. We found it interesting and engaging trying to find places we knew about.

Leo Li

Adam J. Woolsey

Neat!

Gerard Gardner

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

Frank Heinen

(Translated) A funny place in the Yukon. It is already entertaining to watch this Schilderwald. A colorful collection of place and information signs from all over the world. Some even very personal. (Original) Ein witziger Ort im Yukon. Es ist schon unterhaltsam sich diesen Schilderwald an zusehen. Ein buntes Sammelsurium von Orts- und Hinweisschildern aus der ganzen Welt. Einige sogar sehr persönlich.

Dylan Soo

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!

Paulette Martinez

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

Colonel Stinkfinger

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!

Michael Smith

Very cool place

Lindsey G

There is nothing better than roadside kitsch.

Evangelina Zeballos

(Translated) Beautiful option to leave our mark from Argentina (Original) Bellísima opción para dejar nuestra huella desde Argentina

Holly Giampaolo

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

sally Heppler

It has tons of names of people who have past through. We also found ours.

leslie veenstra

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

Lord Nobre Sharp

(Translated) very cool (Original) muito legal

Nick Lupu

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.

Roy Donnesay (Nanabush)

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

Latica Campbell

Fun stop along the highway, great place to stretch your legs and explore!

Eric Stoltz

Find my sign

Blair Wenzel

Lots of cool signs from all over the world

Steve Presswood

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.

Hannah Peek

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.

James Espey

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.

Reiner Buchsdrucker

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!?

Jon Robichaud

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.

Nicholas Manara

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...

Rob Christiansen

Super cool place to check out

Rosileni Andrade

(Translated) It was exciting to be in a historic place and also be part of history by placing our sign !!! (Original) Foi emocionante estar num local histórico e também fazer parte da história colocando nossa placa!!!

rosaowha

(Translated) Unique. Time stops. We cross the world. We get lost. (Original) Unique. Le temps s'arrete. On traverse le monde. On s'y perd.

stewart gangwer

The town has gone down hill since I first traveled through 30 years ago.

Spyder Nan

This is a really interesting place. Must see. If you dont bring a sign. One can be made near by

Adam

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.

Aimee & Mike

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.

Benjamin Berthold

An Amazing variety of signs from all around the world. How did they get there? A feast for an active imagination that can enjoy wondering about the adventures of other travelers.

Rutaventuramerica RUAA

(Translated) It is a place that you cannot miss if you go to Yucon. Don't forget to bring your badge. In the back is the visitor center that gives you all the information to move around the nearby tourist sites (Original) Es un lugar que no puedes dejar de visitar si vas a yucon. No olvides llevar tu placa. En la parte de atrás está el visitor center que te da toda la información para moverte por los sitios turísticos cercanos

Ryan Divine

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

Dan Myles

Weekday a very cool place to visit ... love how it had been organized.

Ryan O'Neal

Family loved it

Benjamin Thurgood

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

John Thomas

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.

Jason 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.

Kayla Grasley

So interesting to see every unique sign left

nimat alhaffar

Like . It is a nice see while there

Spencer Watson

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

Stephen Guilbert

Really really cool roadside stop with interesting history. Worth a few minutes to look around.

Brick Family Adventures

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

Lisa Friend

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

Randy J

Cool place to explore!

Kaitlyn Frey

So cool! Could have spent hours here if it wasn't so chilly!

Wadders

Fantastic tourist attraction, a must visit.

Mary Reiley

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

Gordon Rosser

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

LCD PLASMA INSTALLATION

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

Kevin Lee

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.

Klaus Koenig

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

Samantha McGowan

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.

Becci CpModem

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

John Jacobsen

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.

Robert Threadgill

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

Alannah Monica

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.

Lyle Pitts

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

K Karstens

Going downhill fast

Robert Not Bob

Very fun to look around

Tim Purvis

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

Roamin' Rich

Who couldn't love this place???? So much to see from all over the world! I can't wait to send my own contribution!!!

Troy Remy

I'm not a "touristy" sort of person and usually do not care to stop at points of interest. That being said, this place is sooooooo cool! A must check out kind of place. Even found a sign from my home town in Colorado!

Adrian Meyer

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

Off the claim

Amazing the number of mementos

Dale Heffernan

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

Cool place to see where they came from

OHM ohmmassagetherapy

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.

Frank J. Müller

Nice place. Find your home place.

Laurence MacKenzie

Great little road side stop with sign posts from everywhere!

Manfred G

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

Charles Kashary Jr.

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...

Debbie Dietsch

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

Jason Barrett

Surreal maximus.

Darwin Feakes

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.

Kay Grote

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!

Devipriya Raju

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..

Doug Williamson

Very interesting and a great piece of Alaska Hwy history.

Tanisha Smith

You need to stop!

Serge Comeau

Sign posted on boards, quaint.

Gonzague Martinez Bosc

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

Randy Edwards

Didn't know this was here! You gots to check it out when cruisin through

Harjot Grewal

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.

Robert Gmelin

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

tasker devere

Thought This was a great place to stop and appreciate the Alaska Highway. Signposts from all over the world! Awesome

Kathie Harrop

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

Dan Mitchell

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.

Debbie

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

Janice McDonald

Great walk and fun stop with the kids.

Damian Online

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

Doug Stirling

They were putting up new post while we were there!

Bpraim

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.

Sarah Rankin

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

Signs from the all over the world

C Lippert

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

Steven Mansour

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.

Darren Kirby

A must see while traveling the Alaska Highway.

Ethan Anderson

Amazing amount of signs

Zach Woock

A must visit attraction in the Yukon!

Stef Yogaontop

I finally had my plate.

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.

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

Esther Kow

Interesting spot! Loads of signposts.

Matthew Barela

If the posts could talk!

LeeAnna Springer

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.

Amazing!!!!

Amy Sciezer

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

Desmond Hedderson

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.

Will Quarton

Far enough away that you’ll get away with it ;)

li haichuan

very beautiful

Bill Cibart

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

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

Brian Norton

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.

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

Wayne Donner

just a nice place

Lela Goettl

Super friendly staff!

Brent “Soonta REtire” Dreamer

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.

Luc Cote

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

paul robinson

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

John

Unique spot for a pic.

BennyMac

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

Milton Ruiz

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.

The place has lots of personality and respect from all over the world. Would highly recommend if your on the Alaskan highway.

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

Michael

Thousands of name plates from all over theworld.

Kelly Beveridge

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

lost soul

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

BJ Wallen

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.

Jerald Taylor

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.

Katrina Bishop

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.

Austin Coolidge

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

sab kulafofski

Groovy place

Sash Johnson

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.

Jeff Ross

Really interesting history and free from exhibit.

Amanda Cochran

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

Dave Jones

Worth the stop!

Tyson Doonan

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!

Larry Baran

Worth the stop. (Hundreds of thousands of visitors can't be wrong.)

Jim Patton

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

Parker Freeman

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

Igor Soulrabbit

Cool1

Bil Segui

Well worth the visit

rudel stricker

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...

James C

Spend hours looking at the signs from around the globe posted since ww2

Randy Clark

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

Keith AKA LastRide

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.

Jessica Bermel

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.

kelli bologna

Put up two signs in 1995. Was traveling thru from California to Alaska. Stopped to try and find our signs. Unique place. A must stop on your travels.

- Nobaetz-

Roelof Van Der Velde

(Translated) Special (Original) Bijzonder

Ted Ayles

Very interesting and excellent and entertaining tour.

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.

Judy Dodson

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

Karina Willhoite

Beautiful place

Patti Burton

Always stop and enjoy the peace and quiet

Bobbi Padron

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!!!

Richard Ferris

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

Abby Micku

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!

Terry Tauriainen

Excellent place to stop for a little rest and see all the signs and the information and history behind it. "A Must See"

Nancy Johnson

Beautiful, creative sign posts..

Aline Gemma Godin

Incredible...how many signs...

Helen of Troy

Fun to read

W.F. Johnston

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

Teresa Nettles

Nice scenery for tired eyes

Mikki Hess

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

Diane Shirk

We hung our own sign.

Jason Paes

Isn't this kinda illegal?

Mary Matthews

Very cool!

Ali Bannatyne

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.

Ken Godwin

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!

James Thomas

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

Bettina Goetz

(Translated) Cool idea with many interesting signs from around the world. (Original) Coole Idee mit vielen interessanten Schildern aus der ganzen Welt.

Maxime Audet

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

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

Jody Wipf

Very cool place to stop

Joseph Pavlic

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.

Tonya Mangan

Very cool reading all of the signs

David Ellingsen

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

Aart Langevoort

(Translated) Huge collection of place name signs from all over the world (Original) Enorme verzameling plaats naam borden van over de hele wereld

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.

Vicki Weller

Very cool. A must see when traveling the Alaskan highway

Michael Ackeral

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.

Donna Bornholdt

Way bigger then I expected. What a sight!

Annie Rice

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

liza mclaughlin

Deanna Dupont

Loved it!!!!

Danielle Polsom

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

dDt

really nice place

Ken White

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

Llama Rama

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.

Josef Utíkal

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.

Dorcas Velez

Beautiful.

Robert Austin

Great thing too see!!! A must STOP!

Thorben Schmidt

Never expected so many signs

Carol C (Carol)

Love this place

Dean Gilmore

So big!!!

Randall Brown

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.

robert brukardt

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

Evan Marell

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.

Zbyněk Stuchlík

Interesting place.

Alida Sordahl

Ladies in the information centre were very friendly and informative.

Johnny A Romero Jr

Cool

Melissa Sims

Very cool place!

Wesley Green

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

Volle Kanne

(Translated) Funny sign forest. Not a real must, but if you pass by, you can stop. (Original) Witziger Schilderwald. Kein echtes Muss, aber wenn man vorbeifährt, kann man ja mal anhalten.

Cj

Really cool... could walk around here for hours there is thousands of signs from all across the world.

Mike Hall

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

Jean R Wilde

Very unique and beautiful

tamara wilkie

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

Robo Review

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

Zac Woodward

Very cool stop. Leave a sign.

Tyler G

Super sweet!! Very interesting

Fay Zilkowsky

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

Nice to know

Rose Huebschwerlen

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

Sharon Monroe

I just took a few pictures then used the visitors center. There's an amazing number of signs that would be fun to spend time looking at if you have the time.

M Schreyer (Karline)

(Translated) Visiting Watson Lake without seeing this sign forest does not work. Great idea of a home sick man! (Original) Watson Lake besuchen ohne diesen Schilderwald zu sehen, geht gar nicht. Tolle Idee eines heimwehkranken Mannes!

Tommy Burriola

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

Darlene Dieno

We loved it. It was really exciting and interesting.

Sharon Apple

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!

richard Reimer

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

Nick roy

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!

Morgan Intrieri

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.

Hatata Butata

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.

Mike MacGregor

It's cold up here!!!!

kendra davis

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.

Patti B Johnson

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

dennis smith

We put our sign out. Fun place

Patrick He Bear

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 !

Photographer

Interesting place and history

Bob Colby

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.

Jo-Anne Nitsche

So cool!

Christina Boileau

Bring a sign...

kevin graff

A real treat, a lot of signs

Greg Smith

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

Erin Loffler

Kind of magical!

Definitely worth a look

Adeline PATE

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 :)

Matthew Goodsell (Urson Spognardi)

Very cool.

Timothy Colwell

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.

john wolf

Very interesting,signs from all over the world

Debbie Catanzarite

Stop and see this
