“Pic of the Week”, March 24, 2023: Whiteshell River, Manitoba
![“Pic of the Week”, March 24, 2023: Whiteshell River, Manitoba 06 Whiteshell River and Lone Island Lake (2)](http://drfumblefinger.com/wp-content/themes/CleanStyle/scripts/phpthumb/phpThumb.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fdrfumblefinger.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F01%2F06-Whiteshell-River-and-Lone-Island-Lake-2.jpg&w=155&h=96&zc=1)
Located in eastern Manitoba, in Whiteshell Provincial Park, this river was a special place to me as a boy and teenager. It was here that our father often took us fishing in the late spring and early summer, especially to Lone Island Lake. When I recently revisited the Whiteshell River, I’d forgotten how pretty the place is.
The river connects a series of lakes which become difficult to navigate in the late summer because wild rice grows in abundance. It’s been decades since I saw natives harvest the rice, bending the stems over their canoes and then using a club to knock the rice grains loose onto a tarp.
