Hudson Bay Lowlands

The Hudson Bay lowlands are a broad expanse of wetlands, rivers and low forest bordering the southern shore of the bay. The Winisk and Severn cross this flat country, their waters opening onto marshes and shallow coastal shoals. Cree families travelled between inland and coastal camps to hunt, trap and fish. Along the Shagamu River, raised beach ridges, ponds and marshes form a coastal landscape used by caribou and waterbirds.
