The Mountain River is a long, remote river in the Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada. It begins in the Mackenzie Mountains and flows for about 370 kilometres before eventually joining the Mackenzie River.
The river travels through a very rugged landscape. Along its route, there are steep mountains, valleys, cliffs, canyons, and rapids. The area around the river is mostly untouched wilderness, with very few roads or communities.
The Mountain River is home to many kinds of wildlife. Animals in the region include grizzly bears, black bears, caribou, moose, wolves, Dall sheep, and many types of birds. The river itself also provides habitat for fish.
