		The lake is elongated in shape, and is 416 km from north to south, with remote sandy beaches, limestone cliffs, and bat caves in some areas.
		Lakes Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Winnipegosis are found at the floor of the prehistoric Glacial Lake Agassiz.

		Lake Winnipegosis (52°30′N 100°00′W) is a large (5370 km²) lake in central North America, in Manitoba, Canada, some 300 km northwest of Winnipeg.
		The elongated (195 km from north to south) lake is the second-largest of three large lakes in central Manitoba; the other two are Lake Winnipeg, the largest, and Lake Manitoba.
		The lake drains through the Water Hen River into Lake Manitoba, and is thus part of the Lake Winnipeg, Nelson River, and Hudson Bay watersheds.

	Climate Change and Lake Winnipeg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Lake Winnipeg whitefish are prized for their subtle flavor and pickerel (walleye) are considered a Manitoba delicacy second to none.
		Lake Winnipeg arose as three separate basins that remained isolated during the mid-Holocene (6000 BP) when temperatures were 1-2°C warmer than during the 1950s.
		Lake whitefish are also directly dependent on cool water for their survival and reproduction so may become extinct if the warming of Lake Winnipeg is excessive.

	THE GLACIAL LAKE AGASSIZ--Preface
		Lake Agassiz is now represented by lakes Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Winnipegosis; while Rainy Lake, the Lake of the Woods, and Red Lake lie within its southeastern boundary.
		CHAPTER V: HISTORY OF LAKE AGASSIZ.--The records of glacial lakes are their outlets across present lines of watershed; eroded cliffs, beach ridges, and deltas at the levels of the former outlets; and lacustrine sediments in the basin inclosed by the old shores.
		With the uncovering of the course of the Nelson River, Lake Agassiz ceased to be held by the ice barrier, and became Lake Winnipeg.

		But within 3 years, the independent colony of "Vatnsthing" (Lake Region), 80 kilometres north of the city of Winnipeg would also have established a provincial government, built a church, founded a school, started a newspaper, cleared the land, and mastered the art of ice fishing.
		But from 1875 to 1887, the Icelandic immigrants who settled Lake Winnipeg's western shore were part of an independent province, sanctioned by the Canadian government, governed by an elected council and regulated by a provincial constitution.
		Their emissaries, impressed by the natural resources they encountered along the western shore of Lake Winnipeg, selected a land grant area that extended 57.9 kilometres from present-day Winnipeg Beach to the Icelandic River, and included Hecla Island.

	Lake Winnipeg - Signs of Cultural Eutrophy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The lake supports a fishery valued in excess of $15 M annually and is used as a reservoir by Manitoba Hydro in the course of generating export power valued in excess of $350M annually.
		These limited data sets (algal community, zooplankton community, nutrient concentration, surface chlorophyll) along with the chemical and fossil record found in cores, all suggest Lake Winnipeg is becoming increasingly eutrophic.
		Possible triggers for this change are elevated loading of phosphorous from agricultural runoff and/or municipal effluent and/or increases in light penetration and phosphorous recycling brought about by hydroelectric impoundment.
