'''Dempster Highway''' (also known as '''Yukon Highway 5''' or '''Northwest Territories Highway 8''') is a highway that connects the [[Klondike Highway]] in the Yukon Territory of [[Canada]] to [[Inuvik]], Northwest Territories on the Mackenzie River delta. During the winter months, the highway extends another 194 km (121 mi) to [[Tuktoyaktuk]], on the northern coast of Canada, using frozen portions of the Mackenzie River delta as an [[ice road]]. The highway crosses the Peel River and the Mackenzie Rivers using a combination of seasonal ferry service and ice bridges.
