The impressive Bloody Falls are located about twelve kilometers from Heart Lake and 17 kilometers from Kugluktuk center within the Bloody Falls Territorial Park. They got their name from the massacre in 1771, in which members of the Inuit were killed by members of the Chipewyan and the Yellowknife, who were part of the expedition of the British explorer Samuel Hearne.
Since the Coppermine River is also navigable by boat, you will find a simple camp right on the rapids that is equipped with picnic tables, benches, a flat platform for a tent, fire pit, fish cleaning station and a number of informative signs. This is a good spot for fishing and has been used by indigenous people for centuries and is still used today as a fishing area by the Inuit.
