Today will be one of those days you talk about and remember for a long, long time. Chris, Sally, Jason, Jenn, Gary and I (Sue and Craig were working) took the two boats to Caddy Lake in Whiteshell Provincial Park. The solitude and scenery was just breathtaking. I won't even try and describe it, this is something you see on tv programmes like "Grizzly Adams".We went through 2 tunnels and travelled 4 lakes. We even caught our own lunch which was cooked in a trappers cabin (above) at the side of the lake. There is no other way to access this area except by foot or boat, and it would be a very long walk.
It did rain a few times and we got quite a soaking but it certainly didn't dampen our spirits.
Today really was an "AWESOME" day.

Do the tunnels link the lakes, and are they man made?
The Tunnels are man made and the first one, the bigger of the two in the very top pic, Links Caddy Lake with Southcross Lake. It was blasted through granite rock around 1877. The smaller second tunnel links Southcross Lake with Northcross Lake and is frequently closed during periods of high water.
Both tunnels pass beneath the railroad.
Thanks Dave, I tried to find the area on Google Earth but there's a million lakes around there lol.
Here is a link to a pdf map of Whiteshell Provincial Park. Caddy Lake is just north of West Hawk Lake and Falcon Lake. Good luck finding it amongst the rest of the lakes lol http://www.gov.mb.ca/conservation/parks/popular_parks/whiteshell/map_park.pdf
Thanks Dave, looks like Italy, the shape I mean.
