Selwyn Lake

Selwyn Lake lies among the rocky uplands and sandy glacial deposits of the northern Shield. The lake has two outlets: the Chipman and Porcupine rivers both lead south towards the Fond du Lac River system. Around its shores the forest is open, with black spruce and lichens growing in a region of widespread frozen ground. Barren-ground caribou move into these uplands in winter, while fish inhabit the many lakes and streams.
