Travel along the Ingraham Trail to the shorelines of Pontoon Lake, where expansive dark skies create an exceptional vantage point for Aurora viewing. Away from Yellowknife's city lights, guests can capture stunning reflections of the Northern Lights over the frozen lake surface in winter or calm waters in autumn while taking photos and enjoying the northern wilderness.

Head further down the Ingraham Trail to Prelude Lake Territorial Park, one of the premier dark-sky locations outside Yellowknife. With minimal light pollution and expansive views over the landscape, this stop offers an ideal setting to set up tripods, scan the night sky, and watch the Northern Lights dance over the subarctic boreal wilderness.

Explore Hidden Lake Territorial Park, situated near the end of the Ingraham Trail, for an immersive Northern Lights viewing experience. Far removed from any light pollution, this rugged wilderness area features dramatic rock outcrops and calm water access, providing an extraordinary backdrop to observe and photograph the Aurora Borealis.
