Destruction Bay is a small community on the Alaska Highway (historical mile 1083) in Canada's Yukon on Kluane Lake.
Populated mostly by non-aboriginal residents, community residents provide Yukon government services to residents in the area (school, highway maintenance), including nearby Burwash Landing and some tourism-related businesses along the Alaska Highway. The name is derived from the wind blowing down structures erected by the military during highway construction in 1942–43.
The community has a school with three classrooms serving kindergarten through grade eight.

History
In 1942, a camp was set up to be used by crews working to build the Alaska Highway.[10] It was used for housing of workers, as well as a stopping place for truckers to rest, refuel, and service their equipment.[10] Not long after it was built, a severe windstorm destroyed many of the buildings in the camp, leading to the name Destruction Bay.[10][11]
