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.

Lake St.Martin:

Lake St. Martin is a lake in the Canadian province of Manitoba located in the Interlake Region between Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg.  The Fairford River, the major inflow, flows from Portage Bay in Lake Manitoba through to Lake St. Martin then the Dauphin River continues northeastward from Lake St. Martin into Lake Winnipeg. Water flows are regulated by the Fairford River Control Structure and the Lake St. Martin Emergency Channel.  Settlements on the lake, including the Lake St. Martin First Nation, were flooded and made uninhabitable after the 2011 Assiniboine River flood.
