If you are judging by the campsites and the food, you will never believe you are roughing it. The nights are so dark the Auroras really stand out. The world is so quiet you can hear the howl of the wolves. The water is so clean you can drink it right from the lake. The entire experience is truly a one-of-a-kind.
I hope very much to be able to do another trip with the crew at Jackpine Paddle!
The Northwest Territories is the world’s Northern Lights mecca. Here, the Aurora dance an average of 200 nights per year and you can enjoy two real Aurora seasons: winter and fall. Fall Aurora begins in August, when the midnight sun retires and the Northern Lights come back with the night. Imagine, paddling with Jackpine Paddle beneath the Northern Lights as the colours dance on the water. Or camping as the Northern Lights wriggle overhead. All without the need of a -30°C certified parka.

It’s better in the Barrenlands – a remote and otherworldly zone of glacial eskers, rock-ribbed hills, and artifacts from the Chipewyan and Caribou Inuit cultures. You’ll find a treeless expanse legendary for paddling, fishing and wildlife viewing.

The fabled East Arm is perhaps the most grandiose region of Great Slake Lake, and for good reason. It features clear waters, deep bays with tall, stark red cliffs, and world-class fishing.

The Arctic Circle is a line of lore and legend – and the Western Arctic is one of the few places in Canada where you can reach it by river. You can watch the sun spin itself dizzy in the sky, never falling below the horizon. You’ve now crossed into the true polar zone, a mythic region only a fraction of the travellers on Earth have ever entered.

The Mackenzie Mountains may offer the greatest whitewater canoeing left on Earth – an endless oasis of remote, rugged uplands, cut through by glacial rivers and bustling with mountain sheep, caribou, moose and other creatures untouched by the modern age.
