Mechiso

Mechiso Lake lies southeast of Moose Lake, near the lower Saskatchewan River and Lake Winnipeg. Its Cree name means eating point, a reminder of a named place within a landscape of lakes, woodland and wetlands. The Saskatchewan links the plains to Lake Winnipeg and was an important route for Indigenous travellers and the fur trade. In this country, the great river approaches the lake after passing through Cedar Lake and the rapids at its outlet.
