This is a dramatically beautiful spot to enjoy a picnic, stroll the boardwalk beside the Hay River to Louise Falls or watch Alexandra Falls drop 32 metres over a limestone ridge. Two viewing platforms are located a short walk away.

A Most Beautiful and accessible attraction! Stunning - not expected after the long drive from Yellowknife! We took our scooters along the trail and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there! A small park and not one you will spend much time at but if you are a camper then there are campsites within a couple of miles! It was beautiful!

This building is stunning and definitely worth stopping to tour. I was one of two people in the tour group (likely because it was the dead of winter and early in the morning) and the tour guide answered all of the questions we could possibly ask about the building, consensus government, governance in the NWT, and relations between the NWT and Nunavut. I love legislature buildings and this was the most stunning one I have ever seen. I was even able to sit in the chairs the officials would sit in. It was a fantastic experience with a well informed guide.
8. Fort Smith Mission Heritage Park

Fort Smith Mission Heritage Park is all that remains of the, original 151 acre, Oblate Catholic Mission that operated in Fort Smith from 1876 to the early 1980’s. Located at what is now the centre of the community, the Oblate Mission maintained a Bishop's Residence, St. Isodore's Church, assorted sheds, repair shops, a hospital with associated nun's residence, a residential school, large fields for the growing of crops, and even an airstrip. Today, the sites of several buildings have been removed but you can still see, the Bishop's residence built in 1911, the Cathedral, the fields that were cultivated (some of which have been restored), the storage shed, carpentry shop, vehicle repair shop, the hospital building built in 1952 to replace earlier structures and The Grotto. The park has a quaint walking path, with a self-guided tour that describes the history and activities of the historic mission.

Visit here to learn more about Yellowknife and what to see and do while you are here. Or even to get directions, like I did. The employees are very friendly and helpful. You will even receive a Yellowknife pin and certificate to take home with you. Walk around outside, see the musk ox and the park too
10. Fort Simpson Territorial Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 5 reviews
Located near the entrance of Fort Simpson, where the Mackenzie and Liard Rivers meet, this park offers 20 powered and 12 non-powered campsites to visitors. All of the local amenities are conveniently within walking distance to the park. The park is also located near the historical Papal Site that commemorates the 1987 visit of Pope John Paul ll. A community trail around the perimeter of the community of Fort Simpson links several historic sites, and is readily accessible from the campsite. The trail is a great location for bird-watching and listening to the chorus of northern frogs. Many different species of birds have been documented here. The Snye is a shallow wetland ecosystem located between the main portion of the community and the southern shoreline of the river. Migratory waterfowl may be seen here in season, including tundra swans and snow geese.
