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.

Kakat Lake:

Kakat Lake (also known as Kakat Mitatut Lake) is a glacial lake at the confluence of Holt Lake and Mistik Creek, approximately 21 kilometres (13 mi) northeast of Bakers Narrows. As a segment of the Mistik Creek, it is part of the Nelson River watershed, in the Hudson Bay drainage basin in the Northern Region of ManitobaCanada. The surrounding mixed deciduous and coniferous forest is part of the Churchill River Upland portion of the Midwestern Canadian Shield forests.[1] The region around the lake consists of rocky parallel ridges with poorly drained areas of muskeg and irregular stony shorelines due to intense glaciation.[2] The lake is situated on the well known "Mistik Creek Loop", a remote canoe route 95 kilometres (59 mi) in length which can be paddled in four days.[3][4]
