Liard Highway (from Fort Nelson to Northwest Territories Border)

The Liard Highway corridor offers uncharted opportunities for the avid outdoorsman to explore uninhabited land. Accessible mainly by ATVs and snowmobiles, many isolated lakes offer boating and fishing for the truly determined. Wildlife is abundant in this vast area, making it popular with resident hunters and wildlife photographers alike. Take a side trip from Fort Nelson and experience this wilderness, or begin the Deh Cho Circle Route through British Columbia, Northwest Territories and Alberta.

This section of the highway offers wilderness experiences for the avid outdoors-person.
