Lake St Martin

Lake St Martin lies between the larger lakes of Manitoba and Winnipeg. Water from Lake Manitoba reaches it by the Fairford River, while the Dauphin River carries its outflow towards Lake Winnipeg. Its low shores and islands belong to a country long used by Anishinaabe communities for fishing, hunting and gathering. Whitefish from Lake Winnipeg move up the Dauphin River to spawn in the lake, adding to the life of these connected waters.
