The Dene River is a river located in the northern part of Canada, flowing through the Northwest Territories. It is part of the larger Mackenzie River basin, ultimately contributing to the Arctic Ocean. The river runs through remote, mostly wilderness areas, supporting local ecosystems and Indigenous communities. It plays a role in freshwater flow, wildlife habitats, and traditional transportation routes. The Dene River's landscape features boreal forests and tundra, making it an important natural resource and part of the region’s ecological network. Its health is vital for environmental stability and the cultural practices of local Indigenous peoples.
