Molson Lake

Molson Lake lies northeast of the northern end of Lake Winnipeg, in a country of forest and interconnected waters. The Molson and Keepeewiskawakun rivers enter from the south, while the Hayes flows out to the north and continues towards Hudson Bay. A local Indigenous name recorded for the lake was Winnipegosis Sakahigan, or little muddy-water lake. The Hayes route later became a major artery of the fur trade between York Factory and the interior.
