Fort Good Hope, Charter settlement on the Mackenzie River, Northwest Territories, Canada.
Fort Good Hope occupies a peninsula between Jackfish Creek and the Mackenzie River, featuring limestone cliffs rising 40 meters above the water level.
The North West Company established this trading post in 1805, relocating it multiple times until settling at its current location due to flooding concerns.
The Gothic Revival Church of Our Lady of Good Hope, built between 1865 and 1885, contains detailed murals created by Father Emile Petitot.
Residents access the community through Fort Good Hope Airport or seasonal routes including summer water transportation and winter roads connecting to Wrigley.
Near Fort Good Hope, the Mackenzie River narrows from two kilometers to 11 meters wide, creating a distinctive geographical formation in Canada's longest river.
