What are some popular spots for wildlife and paddling in the Northwest Territories?

The south side of Great Slave Lake is known for its wildlife, paddling, and hub city of Hay River. The most experienced paddlers will be challenged by the enormous truck-sized waves in Slave River at the Twin Falls Gorge Territorial Park, while animal lovers can visit area wildlife sanctuaries and keep an eye out for roaming bison. Fort Providence, set on the west side of the lake, is set on the Mackenzie River.
