Nahanni Rock Gardens

This three week Nahanni “Whitewater” trip route follows the entire Tehjeh Deé (the South Nahanni River) from the headwaters at Nááts’įhch’oh Tué (Moose Ponds) to the mouth at the confluence with the Liard River.

We’ll spend our first week paddling the Rock Gardens – a stretch of 90 kilometers where the river drops over 650 metres. There is almost continuous Class I – III+ whitewater to challenge the experienced canoeist. We continue downstream and spend two weeks paddling the canyons of Nahanni National Park Reserve. This part of the trip is highlighted by fun Class I and II whitewater, spectacular canyons, interesting day hikes up tributary canyons, and exploring Náįlįcho (Virginia Falls).
