Seven Sisters Falls

// March 11th, 2010 // Boreal Forest, Mammals, Manitoba Tourist Destination, Otters, Scenic, Whiteshell Provincial Park

This is the hydro generating station at Seven Sisters Falls, Manitoba.  This operational station is situated on the Winnipeg River System just outside Whiteshell Provincial Park.  Most of my visits have occured when the waters are  low and the river bed floor is quite visible.  The photos below show the Canadian Shield bedrock that lies below the Winnipeg River System.  We watched a river otter dragging a ling cod that it picked up in one of the pools at the river bed bottom.  The fish was larger than the otter.  Pelicans and Cormorants also sit here for the easy pickings from the small pools.
