Napaktulik Lake

Napaktulik Lake lies among the northern lakes of the Coppermine River basin. Its name means “the place where there are trees”, a striking description in a country of open tundra and long winters. Water leaves the lake by the Fairy Lake River, which joins the Coppermine on its northward course. The lake and its neighbours form part of a landscape crossed by caribou and known to generations of Indigenous travellers.
