Hidden Lake Territorial Park is a stunning 3,000-hectare wilderness gem located along the Ingraham Trail east of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. The lake is renowned for its exceptional water clarity — on sunny days, the water takes on a striking aquamarine hue, and fish can be spotted swimming in the crystal-clear depths below. Surrounded by dramatic granite outcroppings, forested trails, and scattered islands, Hidden Lake offers a remote backcountry fishing experience in one of the most visually spectacular settings in the NWT. The park has no established facilities beyond outhouses at the parking lot and trailhead, making it a true wilderness destination that rewards those willing to hike or paddle their way in.
