Vuntut National Park, National park in Yukon, Canada

The park extends across 4,345 square kilometers of untamed Arctic landscape in northwestern Yukon, featuring lakes, wetlands, and mountain ranges.

The Canadian government established Vuntut National Park in 1995 through a land claim agreement with the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation.

The Vuntut Gwitchin people maintain strong connections to this territory, which contains numerous archaeological sites documenting their ancestral presence.

Access to the park requires advance arrangements through Parks Canada, with no facilities or marked trails available within its boundaries.

The Old Crow Flats within the park form North America's largest wetland complex, supporting thousands of nesting waterfowl during migration seasons.
