Several rivers flow from the Mackenzie Mountains into the Mackenzie River. Notable examples include the Redstone River and the Keele River, both of which enter the Mackenzie from the west north of the trading post at Wrigley. Additionally, the Mountain River joins the Mackenzie from the west, creating a fast-water section known as the Sans Sault Rapids.1
These rivers, along with others draining from the Mackenzie Mountains, are characterized by deep canyons where they emerge from the mountains before flowing across the lowland as shallow, braided streams. They typically experience peak flows in June following the mountain snowmelt and become significantly shallower by late summer.1
