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.

Holt Lake:

Holt Lake is a glacial lake that drains into the Kakat Lake, approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) northeast of Bakers Narrows.[1] As a tributary of Mistik Creek, it is part of the Nelson River watershed, in the Hudson Baydrainage basin in the Northern Region of ManitobaCanada. The lake sits in Churchill River Upland portion of the Midwestern Canadian Shield forests and is surrounded by mixed forest with stands of black sprucewhite sprucejack pine, and trembling aspen. The shoreline is characterized by steeply sloping irregular rock ridges and poorly drained areas of muskeg.[2]  The region around the lake is largely inaccessible and very wild and is the home to woodland caribou.[3]
