Northwest Territories Rivers
South Nahanni, NWT Class 1 – 3 Depending on location of put in
Our base is less than 100 miles from the Moose Ponds, Island Lakes or 110 to Rabbit Kettle. Many groups that want to do only part of the river will get picked up or dropped at one of these locations, or you may choose to get picked up at Virginia Falls or maybe even Blackstone Landing.
Many folks that do not wish to do the white water of the Rock Garden will go in at Island Lakes or Rabbit Kettle.

Dusty is normally the preferred put in, but is short, so performance aircraft should be used.

Note:
On any of the rivers where you return to our base of operations in the Yukon, we will overnight everyone at our resort, Inconnu Lodge at no cost. This gives you time to wash your cloths, have a shower, maybe a hot tub, a beer or two, great meal and a good night’s sleep. This is a superb location to close out a northern adventure
