What is keele river?

Keele River is a river in the Northwest Territories of Canada. It is approximately 325 km (202 mi) long and flows in a northerly direction from its source at Keele Lake to its mouth at the Mackenzie River. The river passes through the Mackenzie Mountains, one of the longest mountain ranges in North America, and is known for its remote and rugged wilderness scenery. The river is popular among canoeists and wilderness enthusiasts for its challenging whitewater rapids, scenic campsites, and excellent fishing opportunities for Arctic grayling, lake trout, and northern pike. Several Indigenous communities, including the Sahtu Dene and Métis, have traditional ties to the Keele River valley and use it for hunting, fishing, and trapping. The river was named after Lieutenant-Colonel John Keele, a British officer who explored the Mackenzie River basin in the early 19th century.
