Anipitapiskow

Anipitapiskow Rapids lie on the Nelson River as it approaches Split Lake. Their Cree name means over the rock. Here the river divides around an island, its channels carrying swift water towards the lake; Sakitowak Rapids occupy the other branch. The Nelson drains Lake Winnipeg and flows on through northern Manitoba to Hudson Bay, passing through a succession of lakes, channels and rapids on its long course.
