Welcome to Whati

Welcome to the Whati. This Tłįchǫ Dene community of roughly 500 is set on the eastern shore of the pristine Lac La Martre. The third-largest lake in the Northwest Territories, Lac La Martre is full of large pike and giant trout, which makes Whatì a renowned trophy fishing destination. Whatì is home to the Mezi Community School, fishing lodges, a B&B and a motel. Visitors looking to experience some world-class fishing and wildlife watching can easily reach Whatì via an all-season road from Behchoko on the Tłįchǫ Highway (Highway 9) which opened in November 2021.
