Northwest Territories activities

The Northwest Territories has more than a dozen territorial campgrounds and even more territorial parks spread out across a land of endless tundra, dramatic peaks, thundering waterfalls, raging rivers, and lakes as large as seas. Roll into a campground, or throw on your backpack, hike into the backcountry and howl at the midnight sun.

Whether you plan to fly fish for Arctic grayling or pike, troll for trout, ice fish, or just cast a spoon from shore, you're sure to catch a fish in the Northwest Territories. These rivers and lakes are famous for their abundance and the eagerness of our pike, trout and char to take a lure.

We love our dog teams. The dogsled once ruled as the winter transportation of choice. The tradition continues with dogsled racing as a spectator sport in the Northwest Territories.

Nahanni, the best-known Northern park, showcases the South Nahanni River, possibly Canada’s most epic waterway.
