Powder Point Territorial Park Day Use Area is a Territorial Park Day Use Area in the Northwest Territories, listed by NWT Parks. Powder Point Day Use Area is located next to Hidden Lake Territorial Park on the eastern arm of Prelude Lake.
The official NWT Parks page also identifies park size: 425 ha, operating dates: Year-round, and location guidance: 45 km east of Yellowknife on the Ingraham Trail (NWT Highway 4). These details are useful because northern road distances, seasonal openings, campsite availability, and services can shape the whole visit.
