Wapisiw Sipihk

Wapisiw Sipihk, the Swan River, flows through a broad valley between the Duck and Porcupine mountains toward Swan Lake. Along with the Woody River, it drains much of the surrounding watershed into the lake, whose waters ultimately reach Lake Winnipegosis. The river gives its Cree name to a landscape of forest, wetlands and open ground on the western side of the great Manitoba lakes.
