Paddling near Inuvik, Northwest Territories

Inuvik sits at the northern end of the Mackenzie River (Dehcho) delta in the Northwest Territories, and it serves as a gateway to some of the most remote paddling in Canada. The Dehcho — the longest river in Canada — finishes its journey to the Arctic Ocean near here, and the area is a staging point for expeditions into Aulavik National Park's Thomsen River and the coastal waters around Tuktoyaktuk and beyond.
