Wrigley
The Mackenzie River
The Mackenzie River is the second longest river in North America, and it's tributaries drain a fifth of Canada. The river itself rises in Great Slave Lake near Fort Providence and flows 1738 kilometres to the Mackenzie Delta and Arctic Ocean. This was Deh Cho (big river) to the Dene who lived along its tributaries.

To reach Wrigley (Pedzeh Kj, "clay place") you take a scenic drive north on Highway 1 from Fort Simpson. Cross the Liard River by ferry to Fort Simpson (see Nahanni Country), then cross the Mackenzie River by ferry to follow the route north. Wrigley, a Slavey Dene community, is the northernmost point on the Mackenzie Highway, and potentially the start of a road that will parallel the Mackenzie River.
