Ed notes: 1. Many of the Woodland Caribou Provincial Park entries in the Ontario folder
viewtopic.php?f=107&t=34022 will be copied to the Manitoba threads, specifically those that access Woodland Caribou from Manitoba.
2. All entries need to be checked for content (photos primarily) and cross-listing.
3. Links have not been checked since their installation.
4. Some Route desciptions are poor, as are some titles.
5. The proposal for the new folders is posted at
viewtopic.php?f=113&t=34108 .
Your input will be welcomed. Once the new folders are chosen, I'll post each and transfer the Route entries in the present file accordingly.
Ed note regarding Réal Bérard's Canoeing Maps of Manitoba: It seems pointless to post entries unless I know the the routes covered by each map. I found two of the 13 maps in my files and have posted the corresponding entries; note that each map provides several entries.
The maps are recommended to be used only in conjunction with topos.
If you want to order maps, the better of the two sources I've found is
http://www.canadamapsales.com/en/catalo ... index.html Less useful is
http://www.gov.mb.ca/conservation/canad ... alogue.pdf ;
the latter shows a map which locates the 13 Routes, but the map is mostly illegible.
Here are the titles (from the first source):
• Assiniboine River Canoe Route
• Grass River Canoe Route
• Kautunigan Route;
in my files, entries posted • Land of Little Sticks Routes
• Little Grand Rapids Canoe Routes
• Mistik Creek Canoe Route
• The Bird-Manigotagan Waterways
• Rivière aux Rats Canoe Route
• Sasaginnigak Canoe Country;
in my files; entries posted • The Middle Track and Hayes River Route
• The Waterhen Country
• Whitemouth Canoe Route
• Winnipeg River (exact title illegible)

Title:
Sasaginnigak Canoe Country.
Author:
Réal Bérard.
Ed notes:
1.
Bérard’s
Dogskin Route describes the Route from Wallace Lake to Family Lake. I decided to split it into two parts, Wallace to Artery and Artery to Family. This is the second of those two parts. I retained the name
Dogskin Route for only this part.
2. This Route provides access from the Bloodvein River to the following:
(a) the Pigeon and Berens Rivers,
(b) Sasaginnigak Lake (and so to the Leyond, Pigeon and Berens Rivers) via the
Noname Lake Route, and
(c) the
Waskiktepigo Route, the
Little Seagull Route and the
Friar Lake Route.
4. It proceeds in a generally northerly direction from Artery Lake, turns west, crosses the Manitoba border and continues generally northwest to Family Lake.
Route description: North end of Artery Lake, junction with Noname Lake Route, Hobbs Lake, Irwin Lake, Irwin Creek, Cumming Lake, Irwin Creek, MB border, past Clayton Lake, Dogskin Lake, Dogskin River, Hutch Lake, Whitefish Rapids, White Eye Lake, Dogskin River, east end of Family Lake.

Berens River. Information.
Ed note: Posted also in the ON Forum.
According to Toporama, the Berens River starts at the outlet of Wavell Lake, which is however fed by the Serpent River.
Most Berens trips start at Pikangikum or Family Lake (Little Grand Rapids, with both an airfield and a floatplane base), but the Berens above Pikangikum is paddled, and also the Serpent, as described at
viewtopic.php?f=108&t=31800&p=297861&hilit=Berens#p297861 -
Paddle access to Family Lake is provided by the
Dogskin Route and the

Atikaki Provincial Park. http://www.gov.mb.ca/conservation/parks ... index.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atikaki_Provincial_Park Leyond River. Named features.
Ed notes:
1. "Leyond River" as used here means the entire Route from Sasaginnigak Lake to the Bloodvein River; the Route divides naturally into two Reaches.

Reach 1 (Sasaginnigak Lake to the start of the Leyond River proper), named features:
Sasaginnigak Lake, Atik Bay, Atik River, Mikeeseewapeeko River confluence, Brad Lake, lake west of Eakins Lake, McMurray Lake, portages, Leyond River.
Reach 2 (Start of Leyond River proper to Bloodvein River), named features:
... , Delorme Creek confluence, Makatiko Creek confluence, Kameshekamak Creek confluence, Aneemos Rapids, Obukowin Creek confluence, Amoskawaywe Rapids, Amoskawaywe Creek confluence, Kokokoo Rapids, Pochens Rapids, bridge, Bloodvein River.
