Icelandic River

The Icelandic River is a river in the Interlake Region of Manitoba. The river has its headwaters near the Spruce Lakes system located by Manitoba Highway 68.[1] The river is the source of an agricultural area in the north of the Interlake, flowing through and supporting the communities of Arborg, Manitoba and Riverton, Manitoba.[3] The East Interlake Conservation Area has assessed that 81% of the land use of the Icelandic River watershed is used for an agricultural purpose.[4] The river's mouth is located at Riverton where the water flows into Lake Winnipeg. The Icelandic River is one of the most important spawning sites on the western shores of Lake Winnipeg for fish such as walleye, though recreation and agricultural activities have inhibited this capability recently.[4]
