South Nahanni River


South Nahanni River, Nahanni National Park Reserve, Northwest Territories
River of Adventure
Designated 1987

One of the world's great wild rivers, the South Nahanni is the centrepiece of Nahanni National Park Reserve, a World Heritage Site. Surging through steep-walled canyons where the voices of lost souls echo, meandering past steaming hot springs, leaping over Virginia Falls, twice the height of Niagara. Can you feel its current tugging at you?
