Aishihik Lake is a lake in southwestern Yukon, Canada. Yukon Electric Corporation operates a 37 megawatt hydroelectric dam, built in 1975,[2] at the south end of the lake, where it drains southward into the Aishihik River.
A US Air Force base was established near the north part of the lake during World War II. The base used two Buda diesel engines to supply power and pump water.
