Hay River is more than just summer - as a matter of fact, some of our most enjoyable times happen in a frosty world. Come join us on a snowmobile ride, a dog sled run, a sliding party, or just a walk or cross-country ski through a this vast winter wonderland.




Snowmobile through some of the most spectacular scenery in the Northwest Territories. Ride your machine through deep canyons of the Hay River for 40 miles upstream and see the spectacular Louise Falls from an angle few in the world have seen - from the river (panoramic view at the top of this page).

Explore the vast Great Slave Lake for true wilderness adventure. Or cruise with a group of friends through miles of boreal forest on snowmobile trails - all groomed for your enjoyment. (See snowmobile maps)

It's all here - 12 months of the year!
