Out Here, Nature Reigns
Our rapids along the Slave River are world class, our Dark Sky Preserve is the largest on Earth and Wood Buffalo National Park is Canada's largest national park. The land is thriving with unique wildlife, such as North America's largest land mammal, the Wood Bison, the American White Pelican and the rare and majestic whooping crane.
Whether you are here for a few days or a few months, there is a lifetime of exploring for you to do!
