The Cameron Falls Trail sits east of Yellowknife and winds through dense evergreen forest, crossing wooden boardwalks that thread through the trees. The path twists enough to keep the walk interesting without requiring scrambling or steep climbs.

The hike ends at Cameron Falls, where the group stops for a picnic lunch beside the waterfall: included with your tour. A live guide leads the group in English, Chinese or Cantonese, pointing out details along the way and answering questions about the landscape. If conditions are right, you may spot wild berries or animals moving through the forest, though wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.
