Nonacho

Around Nonacho Lake, steep-sided bedrock hills rise above a northern landscape marked by glaciers. The ice left sand, gravel and other deposits among the exposed rock, while ancient lake waters formed beaches and deltas in the basin. Black spruce and jack pine grow in parts of the upland, and barren-ground caribou have used this country as winter range. The Taltson River connects Nonacho with other lakes on its way towards Great Slave Lake.
