Cameron River Crossing Territorial Park

Cameron River Crossing Enterance
From the parking lot, look for the sign & boardwalk that mark the start of the trail to the Ramparts waterfalls.

Cameron River Crossing is one of the many parks strung like beads along the Ingraham Trail. It is located approximately 56 km east of Yellowknife.

On the south side of the Ingraham Trail where it crosses the Cameron River, there are picnic tables right at the water's edge. Over to the north of the road, follow boardwalks and a short, easy path to the Cameron River Ramparts waterfalls.

It is possible to hike further downstream from Cameron River Ramparts to Cameron Falls, a distance of 8 or 9 km. The trail is not well developed, but the river is relatively easy to follow and the route obvious. If you choose to follow the north (far) side of the river, you will have to cross it at the Ingraham Trail bridge at Cameron River Crossing (there is a foot bridge at Cameron Falls).
