Wilson Bay is a coastal bay located on the west side of Hudson Bay in Nunavut, Canada, with coordinates 62°15'N, 92°43'W. It lies west of an unnamed peninsula, with Whale Cove situated at the southeastern end of that peninsula approximately 13 miles to the southwest. The bay is in a remote, exposed Arctic marine environment. The nearest significant navigational landmark is Walrus Island, located 12 miles SSE of Whale Cove, which is a prominent island with an elevation of 17.4 meters. Vessels transiting the coast are advised to pass no less than 4 miles to seaward of Walrus Island due to navigational cautions, indicating that paddlers should also be aware of this recommended offshore clearance for larger craft. The area is characterized by shelving bottoms in nearby indentations like Murray Bay, suggesting that shallow areas may be present. Paddlers must plan for significant tidal ranges and currents common to Hudson Bay, with tide times for the general area available at reference points like Kayak Island. The environment is fully exposed to the wind and waves of Hudson Bay, creating a high-fetch paddling condition where weather can change rapidly. There are no launch points, facilities, or amenities for paddlers; access would require self-sufficient expedition planning. The area has a quota system for commercial harvests, indicating some level of human activity. Water temperatures will be frigid for most of the year, with ice-free conditions limited to a short summer season.
