The river is 235 km (146 mi) long from the Norman Dam in Kenora to the mouth of Lake Winnipeg. There are many lakes that are part of the system including Rough Rock Lake, Big Sand, Gun, Pistol and the Winnipeg River.
The river and the lakes offer spectacular fishing opportunities for walleye, muskie, pike and bass. Reid’s Birch Island Resort promotes catch and release helping to ensure that these species remain plentiful on this lake and river system.
