Location of Niyanun Lake in Manitoba
It sits in the Churchill River Upland portion of the Midwestern Canadian Shield forests which consist of mixed deciduous and coniferous trees.[1] The lake is also situated on the well known "Mistik Creek Loop", a remote canoe route 95 km (59 mi) in length which can be paddled in four days.[2][3]
Niyanun means 'five' in Cree, as all of the fourteen lakes on Mistik Creek are named in numeric order in Cree.[1][4][5]
The lake contains northern pike.[6] The region around the lake consists of rocky parallel ridges with poorly drained areas of muskeg and irregular stony shorelines due to intense glaciation.[7]
