Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Thaidene Nëné National Park adventure.
Only the most self-reliant adventurers visit this barren tundra.
Travel from the territorial capital of Yellowknife to Thaidene Nene and you’ll find endlessly dramatic landscapes on the east arm of the Great Slave Lake, plus outstanding fishing for trout, Arctic grayling, and whitefish. From the Canadian Shield to Utsingi Point and the peninsulas of Pethei, Kahochella, and Douglas, you’ll feel totally secluded as you look out across the isolated vistas. Visitors need to stay responsible and keep tabs on weather reports to make the trek to this extremely isolated national park, where there are no reservations and no facilities.
The summer months are the best time to visit, especially for fishing, but you still need to closely monitor the weather, as it can change dramatically at any time of year. Winter is the best time to see the northern lights, but it can be challenging to travel during the colder months.
