Shabogamo Lake

Shabogamo Lake lies among the lakes and forests of western Labrador. A narrow channel connects it to Wabush Lake, and the Shabogamo River carries its waters towards the Ashuanipi. In the wider lake country, Innu travellers followed routes between the interior and the St Lawrence. Lakes provided places to fish and to hunt caribou: hunters could drive the animals into the water and pursue them from canoes. In winter, snowshoes made travel possible over the deep snow.
