Shepherd Bay is an Arctic waterway in the Kitikmeot Region, Nunavut, Canada. Located off the western Boothia Peninsula , the bay is on the north side of Rasmussen Basin, south of the Rae Strait. The community of Taloyoak lies 79 km (49 mi) to the north.[2]
The former Distant Early Warning Line site, now an unmanned North Warning System station, known as CAM-3 or Shepherd Bay, is located here at 68°47′34″N 093°26′25″W / 68.79278°N 93.44028°W / 68.79278; -93.44028 (Shepherd Bay LRR CAM-3). Established as DEW Line Auxiliary site, 1957. It was an expansive facility with an airstrip and dock facility for resupplying. DEW operations ended in July 1989; minimally-attended NWS Long Range Radar installed July 1989. Appears[where?] that much of the former DEW site facilities remain in use, buildings appear in good repair. Shepherd Bay SRRS Airport (ICAO: CYUS) is listed in the Canada Flight Supplement as abandoned.[3] The site is serviced by helicopter from the site at Cambridge Bay.
