Ivvavik, meaning ‘a place for giving birth, a nursery', in Inuvialuktun, the language of the Inuvialuit, is the first national park in Canada to be created as a result of an aboriginal land claim agreement. The park protects a portion of the calving grounds of the Porcupine caribou herd and represents the Northern Yukon and Mackenzie Delta natural regions.

This park, located just outside of the community of Inuvik, has 11 powered and 25 non-powered campsites. The Parks observation tower offers excellent views of the surrounding scenery and prime bird watching opportunities. Watch for falcons, eagles, ducks and more. Jàk Park is named because of the abundance of berries at the park; look for cranberries, blueberries and cloud-berries while you are there. Jàk means “berry” in Gwich’in, the local indigenous language. Camping reservations at Jàk Territorial Park can be made online at NWTParks.ca.

Located in the heart of Inuvik, this park offers 19 powered and 8 non-powered sites, and convenient access to the town’s attractions. The park is situated on a bluff overlooking the east branch of the Mackenzie River, and offers a view of the Richardson Mountains. Don't forget to book ahead, the park fills up during the busy summer months!
