The Little Nahanni River is a remote and wild waterway cutting through the rugged landscape of the Northwest Territories, Canada, within the Nááts'ihch'oh National Park Reserve. Spanning approximately 85 kilometers of intense, fast-moving water, this river is one of the most challenging and spectacular paddling and fishing destinations in northern Canada. It flows through dramatic canyon terrain before joining the South Nahanni River, offering anglers a truly backcountry experience far removed from the pressures of more accessible fisheries. Reaching this river is itself an adventure — access is primarily by charter flight into the park, with road connections possible via the Alaska Highway to Watson Lake, Yukon, or the Mackenzie Highway and Liard Highway to Fort Simpson, Northwest Territories, followed by charter flights into the wilderness.
