Green Island Rapids are located on the Mackenzie River approximately 12 miles (20 km) east of the village of Fort Simpson in the Northwest Territories. At this location, the river narrows to about a mile in width and the current is fast, though a channel exists among the boulders that allows for the passage of shallow-draft tugs and barges.1
