Nesosap Lake

Nesosap Lake is a glacial lake on the Mistik Creek chain, approximately 21 kilometres (13 mi) northeast of Bakers Narrows. As a segment of the Mistik Creek, it is part of the Nelson River watershed, in the Hudson Bay drainage basin in the Northern Region of Manitoba, Canada. The surrounding mixed deciduous and coniferous forest is part of the Churchill River Upland portion of the Midwestern Canadian Shield forests.[1] The region around the lake consists of rocky parallel ridges with poorly drained areas of muskeg and irregular stony shorelines due to intense glaciation.[2] The lake is situated on the well known "Mistik Creek Loop", a remote canoe route 80 kilometres (50 mi) in length which can be paddled in four days.[3][4]

Etymology

Nesosap is Cree for "twelve".[6] It is notable for being one of fourteen lakes on Mistik Creek named in numeric order in Cree.[1] The fourteen lakes listed by their Cree names with the English translations in order from south to north are:

gollark: Some meshnetworky things do it at the internet layer.
gollark: Really, if the network stack were cooler, the encryption would be done at a lower layer and not just handed off to applications.
gollark: ALL data is to be encrypted.
gollark: Well, NOT being utterly secured would be uncool, and the only simpler thing would be, I don't know, Noise?
gollark: I dislike it, however.
