The Ingraham Trail, actually a modest road called Hwy. 4, winds through nearly 44 miles of wilderness country east of Yellowknife.
The road heads east from Yellowknife and skirts 10 wilderness park sites, including picnic spots, hiking trails, and boat launches on sparkling lakes.
Among the parks and lakes it borders are: Prosperous Lake, Madeline Lake, Pontoon Lake, Prelude Lake Park, Powder Point Boat Launch, Hidden Lake Park, Cameron Falls Trail, Cameron River Park, Fred Henne Park and Reid Lake Park.
These wilderness parks offer outstanding canoe camping trails, hiking trails and great fishing.
The area is also a great place to spy bald eagles, ospreys, gray jays and nesting waterfowl. If you time it right in the spring, you can view flocks of tundra swans on their way north, and lone peregrine falcons and gyrfalcons heading for their hunting grounds on the arctic tundra.
This area is also home to the migrating Central Canadian Barrenground caribou herd, which numbers at about 400,000.
