The Husky Lakes are a coastal saltwater system of interconnected bays and inlets located in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region of Canada's Northwest Territories, flowing into Liverpool Bay on the Beaufort Sea. This is a remote, advanced expedition environment characterized by extensive open-water crossings up to 12 kilometers, significant tidal influence, and vast mud flats exposed at low tide. The area is part of a larger marine protected area network, recognized for its high cultural and subsistence value. There are no formal services, amenities, or cell coverage; a satellite phone is considered essential for any trip. Access points are not detailed for the lakes themselves, but paddlers typically reach the area as the coastal terminus of long expeditions, such as the 1034-kilometer Anderson River route, which concludes by traversing the Husky Lakes to reach Inuvik or a coastal pickup point. The paddling experience involves careful tidal planning to navigate the mud flats and open crossings. Wildlife is abundant and includes muskoxen, caribou from the Bluenose herd, moose, grizzly bears, wolves, peregrine falcons, and nesting tundra swans. Beluga whales are occasionally observed in the connected Liverpool Bay and Husky Lakes system, typically in August. The overall character is one of extreme remoteness and exposure, requiring self-sufficiency and advanced skills in coastal navigation and open-water paddling.
