The main stem, a much shorter segment of the Mackenzie, is marked in dark blue. Among the longest rivers of Canada are 47 streams of at least 600 km (370 mi). In the case of some rivers such as the Columbia, the length listed in the table below is solely that of the main stem.
The Mackenzie River has a similar range of fish fauna to the Mississippi River system. It is believed that the two river systems were connected during the Ice Ages by meltwater lakes and channels, allowing fish in the two rivers to interbreed.

The Ramparts is a 12-kilometre (7.5 mi) canyon on Canada's Mackenzie River, in the Northwest Territories. [1] The river narrows from almost 2 kilometres (6,600 ft) wide to barely more than 100 metres (330 ft) [ 2 ] running between limestone walls 80 meters high.
The Arctic Red River's headwaters are in the Mackenzie Mountains, from where it flows 500 km (310 mi) northwest to its confluence with the Mackenzie. [2] The river flows through a deep canyon as it flows through the Peel Plateau. The Gwich'in name for the river, Tsiigèhnjik, translates as iron river. The lower 200 km (120 mi) of the river are ...
