Talbot Lake

Talbot Lake lies in the wooded lake country of northern Manitoba, between the Saskatchewan and Churchill river systems. This region of lakes and streams was part of the territory of Cree peoples whose routes crossed the forested interior. In the late eighteenth century, fur traders established posts along the Churchill and its tributaries, seeking trade with communities that already knew the northern waterways. The lake belongs to a landscape in which rivers, portages and lakes made long journeys possible.
