LEG 2 - Lake Winnipeg Topo Maps

Leg 2 of the trip is Lake Winnipeg , so you guessed it ...... these are the Lake Winnipeg topographical maps from the Canadian Government. This series of 50k & 250k maps will cover from the end of the Winnipeg River at Fort Alexander all the way to the northwest end of the Lake at Grand Rapids. Lake Winnipeg is very large and shallow , which makes it prone to big waves when the winds to start to pick up , which means I will have to travel north along the eastern shore of the Lake until I reach the narrows before I can attempt to cross and continue to push northwards to the mouth of the Saskatchewan River at Grand Rapids , Manitoba. Weather is not to be taken lightly on Lake Winnipeg and being wind bound for days at a time is common. This part of the trip can be dangerous and I will not be taking any risks during the many large open crossing that are involved.

Again , these files are large and the total size of all the maps is 1.56GB. I have compressed the maps into a .ZIP file that is only 463mb and is a lot easier for downloading.
Just download the .ZIP file and extract the .TIF map files. Once the files are extracted , you can then crop and print the area you need for this trip using your favourite image editing software.
