There are lots of options of how to fill your time during the Yellowknife winter. Looking to stay in one place for a few hours? Ice fishing is for you! Unpack and nestle into your heated fishing tent for a few hours of angling to catch a northern pike, whitefish or a lake trout and share some stories with your fellow fisherpeople or spend the time reflecting on your journey. Remember, you must obtain a Northwest Territories Fishing Licence to participate.
Looking for some thrill? Try a dog sledding or skijoring tour with the sensational operators in our community! Climb into a toboggan pulled by a skilled and trained dog team and cover lots of ground while getting to relax. Want a different paw-some activity that requires some more balance? Skijoring offers you the opportunity to pop on your skis, connect your harness to the dogs, and take off!
Whether it’s trying a traditional form of transportation like dog sledding or snowshoeing, you’re sure to enjoy everything the extraordinary Northern landscape has to offer and have an un-brr-lievable time.
