North Arm Island Hopper

A playful island-hopping adventure - can you spot the heart-shaped lake?

Island lovers, this one is for you! We trace the western shore of Yellowknife Bay past the old Con Mine, Kam Point and Negus Point, then fly out over the gorgeous island maze of Great Slave Lake's North Arm - Yellowknife's favourite summer playground.

Wave to the cabins, campers and pike anglers below, and on a clear day gaze across to White Beach Point. We turn at Trout Rock and head home over the wetlands - first one to spot the heart-shaped lake wins! Air traffic control then guides us across the city for a grand finish.
