Park (day-use)

Approximately halfway between Fort Providence and Behchokǫ̀, this is the perfect spot for a picturesque picnic in the heart of bison country. 

The Chan Lake Territorial Park Day Use Area is located at the northern end of the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary. Stop for a visit while travelling the Yellowknife Highway and watch for bison and sandhill cranes right from the roadside. 

This day-use park offers picnic tables, a kitchen shelter and washroom facilities. Open during the summer from May to September.
