Yellowknife’s houseboat community began in the 1980s when one or two families built houseboats on old river barges on Great Slave Lake.

The community has grown over the years, and the colourful and energy-efficient housing in Yellowknife Bay is a one-of-a-kind attraction for the city.

You can try Mo’s Houseboat B&B how to live on the houseboat.

“…anytime from September to mid-April, have a front-row seat to the incredible Aurora dancing right over your head with no city light pollution…”
