The Tuktut Nogait National Park ( English Tuktut Nogait National Park of Canada , French Parc national du Canada Tuktut Nogait ) is a national park in the northeast of the Northwest Territories in Canada . The park is 18,890 km² and is 170 km north of the Arctic Circle . The park was established in 1998 and is the largest of the national parks in the Northwest Territories. However, it is the park with the fewest visitors of all Canadian national parks. Only the Aulavik National Park has officially 24 visitors in the same period and has similarly few visitors. What these parks have in common with very few visitors is their remote location in the far north.

Tuktut Nogait means young caribou in Inuvialuktun . Caribou , musk ox , grizzly , wolves and arctic char live in the park . The Inuit have long been committed to the preservation and expansion of the national park.
