Delta Marsh
The marsh consists of a network of interconnected shallow bays separated from Lake Manitoba by a wooded barrier dune ridge of 300m to 600m width.However, it was originally the delta of the Assiniboine River, which flowed into Lake Manitoba from the southwest until approximately 2,500 years ago.The marsh is situated in the northern part of the Rural Municipality of Portage la Prairie.Other game, including white-tailed deer, are also hunted in and around the marsh, and beaver and other fur bearing mammals are commercially trapped.The field station closed in 2011[3] after massive flooding of Lake Manitoba caused some damage to the buildings.
