Northwest Territories Route Information

CCR offers Northwest Territories Route information in this thread and also in our
Northwest Territories Routes section
http://www.myccr.com/canoedb/nt.htm
As well, members post trip reports in our
Northwest Territories Trip Reports folder
http://www.myccr.com/SectionForums/viewforum.php?f=124
I go through this folder several times each year and post corresponding entries in the Forum threads. That is, most entries in the folder are already referenced in the Forum threads.

For general information on the Northwest Territories and paddling there, go to
Northwest Territories Resources

Regions for filing Northwest Territories Routes

The four regions are based on drainage basins, primarily to minimise cross-listing.
Unfortunate consequences:
1. The Dease and the Kendall (almost always paddled together) are placed in different regions.
2. The Marian and the Camsell (often paddled together) are placed in different regions.
Corresponding reports will have to be cross-listed.

Arctic region
Coverage.
Mainland waters flowing into the Arctic Ocean (except the Mackenzie River and its tributaries), plus waters on the Arctic islands, plus coastal Routes.
Posted below.

Anderson River. Information and Features.
Source: NT Government, Our Top Waterways.
“The remote Anderson is a relatively slow, meandering river that begins at Colville Lake and ends at Nicholson Point on the Beaufort Sea. The weather and a potentially hazardous sea-crossing at the end of the trip are the main challenges. A permit is required for the Anderson River Delta Migratory Bird Sanctuary.”

The Wolverine River (no features noted on topos) is a tributary of the Carnwath River (no features noted on topos except the confluence of the Iroquois River). The Carnwath receives the Andrew River just before the former joins the Anderson.
The Kugaluk River roughly parallels the Anderson, entering Liverpool Bay west of the Anderson.
