Canol Road

The Canol Road is a remote and historic route in Canada's Northwest Territories, built during World War II to support oil exploration and military operations. Stretching about 400 kilometers, it connects the town of Norman Wells to the Mackenzie Highway. Originally, the road facilitated the transportation of equipment and supplies, but it is now mainly a rugged access route used for tourism, exploration, and local traffic. The road showcases stunning northern landscapes and is often associated with stories of perseverance and the challenges of building infrastructure in harsh environments.
