Paddling the Mackenzie: Fort Simpson to Wrigley
In late August 2013, Canoe North Ltd. teamed up with the Canadian Canoe Foundation and outfitted a week-long trip for 8 Canadian teens to experience northern Canada's breathtaking waterways, including the sacred Mackenzie River.
For many kids, it was the highlight of their summer as they loved fishing from the boats, exploring the shores, and mapping out the next leg of the adventure.
If you're interested in paddling the Mackenzie River, please visit canoenorth.ca as a great source of information on what to expect for your next canoeing or kayaking adventure.
2: Hay River to Wrigley - Mackenzie River
Video 2 -- just under 8 min. This is the 'Real' start of the trip as we are going on the water from Hay River across Great Slave Lake up river to Fort Simpson and on to Wrigley. About 640 km as that is as far north as the road goes. This leg allowed us to iron out the bugs, like finding Keith's motor didn't work, and get a routine going.
Expedition Source-to-Sea 2012 Stage 4: Mackenzie River, Part 1/2
Stage 4 of our 4,000km paddle from glacier to Arctic Ocean through Northern Canada.
The Mackenzie is a very long river and as such we broke it down into 2 parts. This part is from Great Slave Lake until Tsiigehtchic (Arctic Red River) which is where the river forms a huge Delta on the final stretch to the ocean.
Strong winds, huge rainstorms, new friends and regular encounters with bears completed this portion of our journey. To find out more visit our website at paddlethewaters.org
[ Cette étape vous montre l'une des plus longues rivières au monde, soit la rivière Mackenzie. Elle commence à Fort Providence et se jette dans l'Océan Arctique au Nord du Canada. C'est notre dernière rivière, mais elle est si longue qu'elle prendra 2 mois à compléter. Cette vidéo vous est présentée en deux parties pour permettre de couvrir le plus de sujet possible. Bon visionnement! ]

To celebrate the Gwich’in Social and Cultural Institute’s 17th anniversary celebration (1993-2010), a regional Gwich’in legends workshop was held in Aklavik in January 2010 with Gwich’in Elders and youth, Gwich’in language instructors, GSCI Board of Directors and staff, Gwich’in translators, Life Skills program students, and Aklavik residents. Elders from Aklavik, Fort McPherson, Inuvik and Tsiigehtchic recalled legends in the Gwich’in language that were told to them in their youth by their parents and grandparents.

Mackenzie River
The Mackenzie River is the largest and longest river system in Canada, and is exceeded only by the Mississippi River system in North America. It flows through a vast, isolated region of forest and tundra entirely within the country's Northwest Territories, although its many tributaries reach into four other Canadian provinces and territories. The river's mainstem runs 1,738 kilometres in a northerly direction to the Arctic Ocean, draining a vast area nearly the size of Indonesia. It is the largest river flowing into the Arctic from North America, and with its tributaries is one of the longest rivers in the world.
