About This Tour

A private, guided fat-bike tour along the shores of Great Slave Lake and through Old Town Yellowknife's historic streets, with full winter gear provided and stops at Ragged Ass Road, Bullock's Bistro, and the frozen Dettah Ice Road's houseboats.

Great Slave Lake, which this ride hugs, is about 27,200 square kilometres and reaches roughly 614 metres at its deepest, making it the deepest lake in North America and one of the ten largest lakes in the world by area. In winter its surface becomes a working landscape, with ice thick enough to carry traffic for months.

Ragged Ass Road is one of Canada's most photographed street signs. The lane was once called Privy Road for its outhouses, and in 1970 resident Lou Rocher and friends renamed it as a joke after a poor prospecting season left them 'ragged ass broke'. The city did not post official signs until the mid-2010s, and singer Tom Cochrane later borrowed the name for a 1995 album.

The colourful houseboats frozen into Yellowknife Bay date to the early 1980s, when Old Town residents built floating homes from barrel barges and salvaged lumber and moored them beside Jolliffe Island, outside city jurisdiction. Residents live aboard year-round, and in winter they walk, ski or drive across the ice to get home.
