Yellowknife River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yellowknife River is a river in the Northwest Territories, Canada. It flows south and empties into Yellowknife Bay, part of Great Slave Lake, at the city of Yellowknife. The name of the river derives from the Yellowknife tribe, a First Nations people that formerly lived in the area.
The city of Yellowknife draws its water supply from the river.[1]
