Nonacho Lake

Nonacho Lake is a large body of water in the rocky basin of the Taltson River. The river connects it with a succession of other lakes as it descends towards Great Slave Lake, passing rapids and falls between the stretches of open water. The surrounding country is part of the Canadian Shield, where ancient bedrock and thin glacial deposits form a broken landscape of lakes and forest. Its northern waters lie within the homeland of Dene peoples.
