Recently expanded to nearly six times its original size, Nahanni National Park now envelops the entire Nahanni River Watershed. The South Nahanni River rushes through the park providing scenic routes for visitors to immerse in this wilderness. Travelling down the river one comes across striking waterfalls, vast mountain peaks and canyons as well as natural hot springs. In the past there have been challenges with pollutants flowing from outside the park down the river. But, as the park area is now the third largest in Canada, the management of this immense and wild environment faces a whole new set of challenges.
