7 Wonders of Manitoba Episode 2: Little Limestone Lake

✨ 7 Wonders of Manitoba Episode 2: Little Limestone Lake ✨
Have you ever wondered how this iconic northern lake gets its shimmering blue waters? Watch on!
📍 Little Limestone Lake is located on Treaty 5, within the traditional territory of the Mosakahiken Cree Nation.
--
As we all stay home and stay safe, we wanted to share an incredible documentary series that features seven of Manitoba's most outstanding sites.
Each site was selected for its unique natural features, geological history or the wildlife that inhabits it. The series made us feel at ease and inspired for the year to come - we hope it does for you too!
Please continue to follow all government guidelines and note there is a travel ban currently in place for northern Manitoba.

I have been there as well as other lakes throughout Manitoba. We are so lucky to have such a beautiful province full of such marvels and enjoyed even shared with and by everyone. I truly believe that Manitoba is God's country and as we are only here for a short time and are just tenants here, we need to take care of our pristine nature.

[@DonnaTaibossigai]

Glad to hear it's been protected for generations to come. I feel privileged to have visited this special lake as a child.

[@slimmmerman]

It’s kinda sad that Travel Manitoba believes there are lakes without names... every lake in the province is named... just not in English!

[@simonpolle6126]

Kinda doubt that since there are over 100,000 lakes In Manitoba let alone

[@slimmmerman]

Every lake in Manitoba is named by the First Nations people... whether you think so or not!

[@SamuraiPoohBear]

@@slimmmerman prove it

[@user-zn6oo4on4k]

Who cares about who named it, you shouldn't feel slighted by it. Did you name the roads that lead to the lakes as well?

[@user-zn6oo4on4k]

Lake Winnipeg?

[@jasperlol2765]

this lake belongs to my rez I feel pretty cool

[@malithdesilva4164]

Which rez?

[@2804bandit]

Is it really your lake ?

[@glenrussell9975]

It does not "belong" to your rez, it is near your rez and to be shared with everyone.

[@jackmartin7201]

It’s actually apart of Moose lake Nations land. And yes we do own the lake. We do share it with the public. But that shouldn’t be misconstrued with us not having the the rights to the lake and the area around it.

[@2804bandit]

@@jackmartin7201 isnt. That just great 👍. I never expected or received a thing from my ancestors. But you got a lake. Nice. Is that all or do you need more ?

[@RedRiverWilds]

Little limestone lake is gorgeous, plans to go there were stopped by Covid, once the pandemic is over my wife and I have plans to stop there and fish for a while on our way to visit her friends in Thompson.

[@felixdacat5551]

Absolutely awesome

[@callmezhoujia]

Wow 🤩 so cool 😎

[@AnaTherD]

Wow, that's amazing!

[@bernier42]

Such a great place. And made all the more special when you can appreciate the unique confluence of geographical and geological characteristics. I learned about it in 2013 and visited in 2014. Didn’t know about the influence of the relatively shallow depth before!

[@111LMBL]

🌈💚Wow ! Thank you for thee Amazing and beautiful documentary film on lake Manitoba 🌈😊🧡🧡🧡

[@randysavage6898]

I love that you said our province. Hello fellow Manitoba, thank you for the great information!. I'm going to this park summer 2022

[@darrensnorthernlife1184]

Amazing

[@mavisrowe]

Gorgeous place! Want to go there!

[@tgan71]

So much for my idea of a romantic, quiet setting

[@KardosoMedia]

Have to visit Little Limestone Lake this summer!

[@callmezhoujia]

Not bad right

[@angelataylor4975]

Check out clearwater lake and right above it is shoeprint lake..

[@_.martisrei5144]

To think theres such a lake in my province. I never knew until way later. :'> I'll visit someday!

[@garionporter5961]

Amazing! what a great series! is there such a set for every province?? Such a good idea! -could do one series for every state too!

[@bobmanp8653]

Is there a limestone lake or medium or large sized limestone lake?

[@Ruumatsuku]

My grandparents had a cabin at Little Limestone Lake until it was burnt down many years ago.

[@sandywiscombe5009]

Is there a campground or are you allowed to set up camp there? If so, is there a specific area for this or areas to stay out of? One time we were there we were just exploring and happened upon what looked like a ceremonial site of some sort. We weren’t sure what was going on, but we didn’t wanna disturb so we didn’t go any further.

[@polskiewinnipeg]

went there in September i could not believe the amount of garbage that people threw in the bush off the road empty beer cans and food wrappers its sad its a wonderful area

[@glenrussell9975]

Yes, it is sad -- I have seen that too even other garbage, and I wonder who is really doing that??

[@andreacapper8431]

It was full of garbage when I visited it back in 2010, very very sad to see.

[@glenrussell9975]

@@andreacapper8431 Yes and we don't need to wonder who is doing it. Dirty diapers, mattresses, beer cans, liquor bottles, etc. but I expect "visitors " will be blamed as always!!! Pity!

[@Galluchh]

Can fish live in lakes like this?

[@TravelManitoba]

Yes they can!

[@shar7423]

Is it safe visiting this lake with family and kids as you said black bear and some animals there ????? I want to know please

[@felixdacat5551]

You have nothing to fear...the bears up there dont see humans very often and dont usally stick around ..if your a messy camper..leaveing food garbage ect outside your camp your taking your chances..otherwise no problem at all..its absoulutley breath taking!!🌝

[@paulipuhakka8788]

I've been around black bear's all my life. For most part, there very timid and solitude animals. They might be curious to see who's in "their" area, but will keep their distance (maybe). Just be aware , that they are around. Pretty good chance you won't see one, unless you leave good smelling left overs (BBQ remnants) lying around. Should one show up, start making lots of noise, waive jacket around, and that should be enough to scare it off. Enjoy your time there.

[@katjones2781]

Wow beautiful I'm from Florida and we would have ruined it here in the United States

[@DavidHKruse]

What is the spelling of the word the narrator starts using at about one minute: "outstanding morral? lake on earth. Morrel? is a natural phenomenon, created when calcium carbonate...mixes with clay and warm water."
