The Nahanni is the Holy Grail for paddlers. It is not the biggest river in Canada, but is certainly its most famous.

Okay, monster believers – have you ever heard of a creature called the Waheela? The legend of this creature has been kept alive in Native American lore. If this thing is for real, I definitely would NOT wanna have one come across my path. Legend says it’s a wolf-like beast that is the size of a full-grown bear. That in itself would be frightening, but it’s much more than that…it’s an evil spirit that can manifest itself anytime and anywhere it wants. And according to witnesses, it has done just that in Alaska, northwest Canada and northern Michigan.
