The Klondike Highway runs along Windy Arm south of Carcross.

On January 18, 2000, a carbonaceous chondrite meteorite now known as "Tagish Lake", fell on the frozen surface of the Taku Arm.

[3][4] Other sources translate Tagish as "it (spring ice) is breaking up".

[5] Tagish lies in the path of migratory swans that come every spring to wait out the melting of the more Northern Lakes.

Tagish is also home to the Southern Lakes with trophy fishing.
