In the daytime, look for wildlife – the North Arm of Great Slave Lake is a traditional fall staging area for thousands of waterfowl from all four continental flyways. Many species of ducks, geese and swans gather here in giant flocks before their long trip south.  Grouse are common on our wooded islands, and moose, otter and black bears can often be seen fattening up for winter.

In the evening, when the sky is clear, the stars and the Aurora appear.  Stay three nights and you are almost guaranteed a glimpse of the Northern Lights, nature’s greatest light show.
