[48] Fish in the Mackenzie River proper include the northern pike, several minnow species, and lake ...
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 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 Fond du Lac River is one of the upper branches of the Mackenzie River system, draining into the Arctic Ocean, located in northern Saskatchewan, Canada.The river is 277 kilometres (172 mi) long, has a watershed of 66,800 km 2 (25,800 sq mi), and its mean discharge is 300 m 3 /s (11,000 cu ft/s).
Canada's waterways host forty-seven rivers of at least 600 kilometres (370 mi) in length, with the two longest being the Mackenzie River, that begins at Great Slave Lake and ends in the Arctic Ocean, with its drainage basin covering a large part of northwestern Canada, and the Saint Lawrence River, which drains the Great Lakes into the Gulf of ...
The island has an area of 2,165 square kilometres (836 square miles), being 85 kilometres (53 miles) long and 42 kilometres (26 miles) wide. Its eastern limit is marked by the main channel of the Mackenzie River, while its western limit is defined by the narrower Reindeer Channel. [1]
The Arctic Red River is a tributary to the Mackenzie River in the Northwest Territories, Canada. [1] [2] In 1993 the river was designated as part of the Canadian Heritage Rivers System. It was also the name of a community on the Mackenzie where the river joins, now known as Tsiigehtchic. The Dempster Highway crosses the Mackenzie at this point.
It is 469 km (291 mi) long and 20 to 203 km (12 to 126 mi) wide. [3] It covers an area of 27,200 km 2 (10,500 sq mi) [ 2 ] in the southern part of the territory. Its given volume ranges from 1,070 km 3 (260 cu mi) [ 10 ] to 1,580 km 3 (380 cu mi) [ 2 ] and up to 2,088 km 3 (501 cu mi) [ 11 ] making it the 10th or 12th largest by volume.
