Nearby Attractions
about 30-minutes' drive to the west is the Lost Town of Pine Point, a once-major mining town abandoned in the late 1980s. While many of the town's buildings were moved to Fort Resolution, the streets and sidewalks are now being reclaimed by the wilderness.

Nearby Fort Resolution is home to the Fort Resolution National Historic Site, initially built on the site by the Hudson's Bay Company in 1819. In 1821 it became the principal fur trade post on Great Slave Lake and the community built around it has remained active ever since.
