Kugluktuk

This centre is run by the community government. From the air, this building looks like an ulu, a knife used by Inuit to cut meat. It showcases the history of the Copper Inuit, hunting tools, clothing, drum dancing songs and more.

The area is typical Arctic tundra and along the sides of the river are the cliffs that lead to the falls. Rocky escarpments can be found and it is possible to see the Arctic Ocean from hills within the park. The fast flowing river, normally fairly wide, is forced through the cliffs in the park and create the falls before spreading out again. In addition to herds of caribou, a visitor to the park may observe grizzly bears and wolverines. Bird species such as the golden eagle, rough-legged hawk, peregrine falcon, gyrfalcon, and swallows may be observed in the park. The last are found in large numbers and nest in the cliffs around the falls. It is an excellent area to camp, fish, picnic, pick berries, or take a paddling trip down the river. Guides can be arranged through the local hunters and trappers organization at +1 867-982-4908. Fishing activities for non-Inuit will require fishing license, which can be purchased at the wildlife conservation office in town at +1 867-982-7450.
