Kayaking the east arm of Great Slave Lake

Paddle the Canadian Shield country on this kayaking trip on Great Slave Lake. This paddling trip takes place at the head of the 200 km long east arm of Great Slave Lake, Canada's third largest freshwater lake. The East Arm is bounded by spectacular red granite cliffs and magical coves, offering a paddler's paradise. Located on the northern edge of the boreal forest, this area is the traditional homeland of the First Nations Dene people, whose camps and presence is felt at every corner of the lake and landscape. The rugged Canadian Shield country hosts a mix of black spruce and white pine while birches, poplars and willows display beautiful fall colours.

Kayaking the east arm of Great Slave Lake

Secluded bays provide some of northern Canada's most important waterfowl and moose habitat, and, to the delight of every fisherman, they teem with Lake trout and Northern pike. While Golden and Bald eagles abound, the East Arm is known for its migratory bird life-a musical cry overhead pulls your attention upward in time to see sky-wide strings of ducks, geese and loons. Evenings around the campfire are made memorable by spectacular sunsets, and on a clear night, the promise of northern lights makes one linger a little longer before crawling into the tent. Truly a wonderful way to experience the north country in all its finery, this trip operates in cooperation with the Council of the Dene Nation.
