The Moose Ponds are a series of ponds mostly within the Northwest Territories, however a small portion of the largest and westernmost of the ponds does enter the Yukon.

An expansion of the South Nahanni River, just below its headwaters, are the starting point for 50 km (31 mi) of virtually continuous Class II - Class IV whitewater in Canada.[1] This stretch of river is known locally as the Rock Gardens.[2]
