The South Nahanni River (Tehjeh Deé, pronounced Teh-jeh Day) is a leading destination for canoeing, kayaking and rafting. The river boasts sections of challenging whitewater and spectacular views of wilderness and wildlife. The river, which is protected by the Nááts'įhch'oh National Park Reserve (a traditional homeland of the Dene), is navigable from June to September. [Nááts'įhch'oh is pronounced Nats-inch-oh(n)] Those travelling the river’s length typically begin at Virginia Falls or Rabbitkettle Lake, with trips lasting a week or two.
