Great Bear Lake is situated on both sides of the Arctic Circle. It is the largest in Canada. It is 320 km long and between 40 and 177 km wide. It arises from pre-glacial valleys that were joined by glaciers and remodelled again after they melted millennia ago.

Great Bear Lake, which is frozen eight months of the year, remains incredibly transparent to a depth of 31 m. It is fresh water and its waters are teeming with fish, especially trout and salmon. Moose, golden eagles and grizzly bears, hence its name, find refuge on its shores.
