Geocache Description:

Lakes of Manitoba

Manitoba is known for being the land of 100,000 lakes.  This is the result of Lake Agassiz which covered much of the province after the glaciers retreated.  Our lakes cover 15.6% of the province's total area. 


This is what you can expect on this trail:  The caches in this trail are all named after lakes in our great province.  Cache containers are micros and larger.  There will be a mix of container types and some will be winter friendly and some won't. For this reason there won't be a winter attribute at all because of snow levels on the sides of the roads in the winter will vary.  Some of the caches will require you to walk thru ditches so depending on time of year and water levels rubber boots might be a good idea.

Cormorant Lake:

Cormorant Lake is a large lake in northern Manitoba, Canada. Administratively it is in Division 21Northern Region of Manitoba, and almost entirely within the Cormorant Provincial Forest. The lake is about 27 kilometres (17 mi) wide and 20 kilometres (12 mi) long, with a surface area of over a 1,000 square kilometres (386 sq mi). There is one village and two hamlets on the east side of the lake along Via Rail's Winnipeg – Churchill rail line, the village of Cormorant[1] and the hamlets Halcrow and Dering. The Cormorant Lake Airport is between Cormorant and Dering. There is one hamlet to the south of the lake, Budd, which is also on the rail line. The lake can be reached by road on Provincial Road 287 from just north of The Pas.  Cormorant Lake is in the Saskatchewan River basin[2] and is primarily fed from the northeast from Michell Lake and Yawningstone Lake and exits to the southwest into Clearwater Lake. There are two large islands in the western portion of the lake, and a chain of islands cutting northeast-southwest across the middle of the lake.[1]
