Stroll down the hill from downtown Yellowknife and you'll find yourself in Old Town, the zany, historic, outdoorsy epicentre of the city. Here, hugging the shores of Great Slave Lake, are a wild array of log-cabins, waterfront mansions, galleries filled with First Nations art, fresh-fish restaurants, kayak-rental shops, and bobbing houseboats. The North's best events (including sled-dog races and floatplane gatherings) and most colourful people (all hail the SnowKing!) can be found here. Discover these 15 reasons to explore Old Town, Canada's wildest neighbourhood.
