We went on a work road trip to Délı̨nę, accessible via the winter ice roads, and located on Great Bear Lake.
We went to visit the parks office for Saoyú-ʔehdacho, the largest National Historic Site in Canada. Everything is bigger here: Great Bear Lake is largest lake entirely in Canada, the 4th-largest in North America, and the 8th-largest in the world. The largest lake trout ever caught was from Great Bear Lake, weighing in at 32.8 kg (72.3 lb).
Last summer we paddled down the Great Bear River, but we started at the mouth of the river and didn’t go all the way into Délı̨nę, so this was my first visit.
On the drive, we saw four caribou, which was a nice treat.
