About Hay River, NT

Hay River sits on Great Slave Lake at the mouth of the Hay River, split between the newer townsite and the low-lying Old Town closer to the water. Highway 2 connects it north to Highway 1 toward Fort Simpson, while Highway 35 through High Level, Alberta links up via Enterprise for the long haul south, making Hay River a common overnight stop en route to Yellowknife, about 480 km away. EV charging is sparse this far north, so top up before the border. Merlyn Carter Airport sits 12 km out. The town's port is the summer launch point for barge shipments down the Mackenzie to Arctic coast communities.
