Nahanni National Park Reserve West Paddling Map | Moose Ponds to Virginia Falls

Command your expedition through the legendary canyons of Canada’s Northwest Territories with the authoritative Nahanni National Park Reserve West Topographic Paddling Map. Specifically engineered for wilderness canoers, kayakers, and rafters embarking on the upper, high-adventure stretch of one of the world's premier wild rivers, this map tracks the South Nahanni River from its headwaters at the Moose Ponds down to the majestic Virginia Falls (Nááts'ihch'oh). Digitized at a comprehensive 1:250,000 scale with masterfully executed shaded relief, this map allows expedition teams to visualize massive canyon walls, alpine valleys, and complex river topography with exceptional clarity.

Measuring a generous, wide-format 41.5" x 28", this map provides an expansive view of the remote western wilderness corridor. Far more than a basic topographical reference, it is packed with critical, field-tested logistical data required to safely plan and execute a self-supported expedition through the upper reaches of this iconic UNESCO World Heritage site.

Critical Expedition & Upper River Data Included:

• River Navigation & Rapid Classifications: Stay prepared for technical whitewater, including the demanding Rockgardens section, with clearly marked rapid classes, river features, and safe portage routes.

• Precise GPS Coordinates: Pinpoint locations seamlessly with exact coordinates formatted in both DMS (Degrees, Minutes, Seconds) and Decimal Degrees.

• Essential Backcountry Waypoints: Accurate tracking for remote Parks Canada warden cabins, established wilderness campsites, emergency helicopter landing zones, and trailheads for spectacular day-hikes into the alpine tundra.

• Points of Interest: High-accuracy mapping guiding you safely to the brink of the massive, 90-meter (295-foot) drop of Virginia Falls.

Printed on high-quality, regular presentation paper, this map is perfect for plotting routes at home, framing as a piece of rugged expedition art, or storing safely inside a waterproof map case inside your canoe or raft. Equip your expedition pack with the definitive visual guide for navigating the untamed upper South Nahanni River.
