Great Slave Gateway
Getting Here
Getting Here - Fly a Vintage DC-3
Line up on the tarmac for a trip into history on Buffalo Airways’ vintage DC-3s. The smooth running birds are part of a fleet of DC-3s still flying scheduled trips between Yellowknife and Hay River. The old girls are featured performers in Ice Pilots NWT, a hit reality television series.
Fishing Great Slave Gateway
Hay River is a fine base for fishing excursions. There's fishing along the shore of the Hay River for pike and walleye, fishing near Kakisa for pike, walleye and grayling, and fishing on the road to Fort Resolution and near the borders of Wood Buffalo Park. There are several fishing lodges and camps in the area, accessible by chartered float plane.
The Great Slave Lake Fishing Fleet
Great Slave Lake stretches 456 kilometres from east to west and feeds the 1700 km long Mackenzie River, which flows north to the Arctic coast. With typical northern understatement, we call Great Slave “the Big Lake”.

Great Slave Gateway
Great Slave Lake stretches to the northern horizon like a vast inland sea. It’s one of the biggest, deepest freshwater lakes on the planet and the second largest lake within Canada. We call it the Big Lake. Here, on its south shore in Great Slave Gateway, there are sandy beaches stretching for miles.
