Teslin is rich in Tlingit culture and tradition. The Tlingit language is making a comeback, fostered in the community and taught in the school.

Teslin is located on the shores of Teslin Lake, which comprises a major part of the Yukon River drainage system. An abundance of lakes, rivers, and streams makes Teslin a fishing paradise and wildlife abounds in the area. Canoeing, kayaking, and power boating are popular summer activities. Winter brings out the snowmobilers and cross-country ski enthusiasts.
