Trophy Fishing at Trout Rock Lodge .JPG "Big Fish Enodah (Medium)")
The NWT offers spectacular sport fishing at many great lodges. Guided tours can be arranged from Yellowknife or longer stays at lodges across the North.
This pristine wilderness area is also home to Bald eagles, various waterfowl and many other types of wildlife. The chances are good you may spot a moose or a black bear (don't forget to bring your camera). With its ruggedly splendid landscape, the area looks today as it did a thousand years ago.

Midnight Sun Arts, Culture and Arctic Circle - Inuvik & Yellowknife
Since 1989, up to 80 visual artists and 40 performers from across the North gather each summer in Inuvik to celebrate the diversity that is Canada's North. They are Inuit, Inuvialuit, Gwich'in, Dene, Metis and many of Canada's additional First Nations, as well as non-Aboriginal artists and artisans; they come from as far away as Pangnirtung on Baffin Island, Gjoa Haven in the Arctic Archipelago, Fort Smith on the NWT/Alberta border, and from the Yukon Territory. They come to show their work, meet other artists, see different styles of work and learn new techniques.

Nahanni National Park
Nahanni National Park encompasses 300 square kilometres of the South Mountains in the south-western 
corner of the Northwest Territories. The Nahanni River, named for the Naha, a tribe of fierce warriors who vanished from the valley, is a dangerous river notorious for other mysteries as well, like the story of the headless men found in Deadmen Valley.
The geological history of the area is unique. Much of the region was never touched by glaciers and so has evolved differently. The four canyons of the South Nahanni have cliff walls that rise as much as 1500 metres above the river. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, the first natural region in the world to be so designated.

Mackenzie River Delta 
Although the Mackenzie Delta begins officially just past the confluence of the Mackenzie River and the Arctic Red River, at Point Separation, it is not a static waterway. About 210 kilometres in length, with an average width of 62 kilometres in width and an area of 13,500 square kilometres, Canada's largest delta (the 12th largest in the world) continually changes shape within the boundaries of the Richardson Mountains to the west and the Caribou Hills to the east. Tours to Inuvik, Tuktoyaktuk and the Dempster Highway are available.
