Grass River Provincial Park
In the north, where the Manitoba Lowlands and Precambrian Shield
meet,
there is a river
that runs wild. It's name is called Grass River.
Its presence is marked
on the maps of great explorers like Samuel
Hearne as it played a critical role to the history of
the fur trade.
Today
it's the namesake
of a superb park. This is a place where woodland
caribou thrive, and where wolves, moose, bear and wolverine roam the
lush forests. Looking above, you'll see that the
sky belongs to the
bald eagle and the great gray owl. When exploring along the river
and
numerous lakes, you'll feel like
the first to set eyes on the
splendor of
untouched land and
waters. For those who prefer overland
access, four of the most popular
lakes can be reached
by road. The
bounty of Grass River's
waters include the great northern
pike, walleye,
lake trout, whitefish and perch, and are sought
after by anglers worldwide.
