Dory Point is a modest park located beside the Mackenzie Highway, and on the south bank of the mighty Mackenzie River where it empties out of Great Slave Lake, just a short way from the Mackenzie ferry crossing at Fort Providence. Originally created as a convenient place to overnight for anyone who might have 'missed the last boat', it can also be a handy spot to take a break before heading on south on the long drive into Alberta.

Attractions & Points of Interest:

Nearest visitor information centres to the park are in Hay River, and at the Sixtieth Parallel Territorial Park at the Alberta border.

Nearest parks are Fort Providence; Kakisa River Day Use Area, where you can enjoy a day of fishing; & Lady Evelyn Falls, where you can walk down to the base of the water fall.

Dory Point is located on the Frontier Trail, your route to Yellowknife and beyond.
