Whitemouth River
The Whitemouth River is located in southeastern Manitoba, Canada. The mouth of the river empties into the Winnipeg River system at the Whitemouth Falls Provincial Park. The Whitemouth River is fed by Whitemouth Lake which is located in a remote forested area just north of the border between the United States and Canada. Whitemouth Lake feeds the river year round, along with many wetlands throughout the Sandilands Provincial Forest area. The river runs north and crosses the Trans-Canada Highway where it enters an area of farmlands. The towns of Seven Sisters, Manitoba, Seven Sisters, River Hills, Manitoba, River Hills, Elma, Manitoba, Elma, Whitemouth, and Hadashville are located along the river. Several rapids along the river attract whitewater canoeists and kayakers. There are twelve navigable whitewater features along the river, most rated International scale of river difficulty, Class I or II. Cooks Falls and Neva Falls are significantly more difficult rapids.

Carmine Shiner
The carmine shiner (''Notropis percobromus'') is a freshwater fish species. In Manitoba, it was once known as the rosyface shiner ('' Notropis rubellus''). Based mostly on zoogeographic data, it is currently classified as a distinct species within the rosyface shiner species complex. The carmine shiner is a member of the Minnow family, Cyprinidae. It has the following characteristics and distinguishing features: * A slender, elongate minnow, typically 55 to 60 mm in length (Whitemouth River) * Snout length is equal to the eye diameter * Adults are olive green dorsally, silvery on the sides and silvery white on the belly * Black pigment outlines the scale pockets dorsally; the opercula and cheeks may be pinkish * Breeding males develop fine, sandpaper-like nuptial tubercles on the head, pectoral fins and some predorsal scales. They also turn pinkish violet around the head with a reddish tinge at the base of the dorsal fin. Breeding females are usually lighter in colour * Seldo ...

Ichthyomyzon Fossor
The northern brook lamprey (''Ichthyomyzon fossor'') is a freshwater fish in the family Petromyzontidae. It is closely related to the silver lamprey (''I. unicuspis'') and may represent an ecotype of a single species with ''I. unicuspis''. Description Northern brook lampreys are jawless fishes, also known as cyclostomes. Northern brook lamprey are considered non-parasitic lamprey. They have poorly developed teeth and a round, disc-like, subterminal mouth, called an oral-disc, for suction. Northern brook lampreys have a single dorsal fin that continues along their entire length until it connects with the caudal fin. This dorsal fin can be notched as well. Their coloration is gray-brown dorsally with a light line down the back and an even lighter ventral side. The length of adult northern brook lampreys does not typically exceed 16 cm and the body is attenuate. While the ammocoetes look similar to the adult lampreys the ammocoetes have a hooded mouth instead of an oral-disc an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Whitewater
Whitewater forms in a rapid context, in particular, when a river's gradient changes enough to generate so much turbulence that air is trapped within the water. This forms an unstable current that froths, making the water appear opaque and white. The term "whitewater" also has a broader meaning, applying to any river or creek that has a significant number of rapids. The term is also used as an adjective describing boating on such rivers, such as whitewater canoeing or whitewater kayaking. Fast rivers Four factors, separately or in combination, can create rapids: gradient, constriction, obstruction, and flow rate. Gradient, constriction, and obstruction are streambed topography factors and are relatively consistent. Flow rate is dependent upon both seasonal variation in precipitation and snowmelt and upon release rates of upstream dams. Streambed topography Streambed topography is the primary factor in creating rapids, and is generally consistent over time. Increased f ...

Elma, Manitoba
Elma, Manitoba, is an unincorporated community of approximately 100 people in southeast Manitoba. It is located on the Whitemouth River, at the junction of Highway 15 and Highway 11 in the Rural Municipality of Whitemouth. History The area settlement was originally known as Janow, named after its post office; the name was agreed upon between the store owner, John Giliewich, and the post office inspector. The preferred name, ''Yaroriw'', was turned down as the inspector thought there might be difficulty with name. The name changed to ''Elma'' after the railway was built, when the community became a railway town. This name is said to have originated from a man named Thomas Koivu and his wife Maria, who worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway and had a baby named Elma (1905)—a name the town all decided to adopt as their own. It is more likely, however, that the name was given when the National Transcontinental Railway (a predecessor of the Canadian National Railway) was built ...

River Hills, Manitoba
A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases, a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as Stream#Creek, creek, Stream#Brook, brook, rivulet, and rill. There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to Geographical feature, geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are "run" in some parts of the United States, "Burn (landform), burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in northern England. Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek, but not always: the language is vague. Rivers are part of the water cycle. Water generally collects in a river from Precipitation (meteorology), precipitation through a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Trans-Canada Highway
The Trans-Canada Highway ( French: ; abbreviated as the TCH or T-Can) is a transcontinental federal–provincial highway system that travels through all ten provinces of Canada, from the Pacific Ocean on the west coast to the Atlantic Ocean on the east coast. The main route spans across the country, one of the longest routes of its type in the world. The highway system is recognizable by its distinctive white-on-green maple leaf route markers, although there are small variations in the markers in some provinces. While by definition the Trans-Canada Highway is a highway ''system'' that has several parallel routes throughout most of the country, the term "Trans-Canada Highway" often refers to the main route that consists of Highway 1 (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba), Highways 17 and 417 (Ontario), Autoroutes 40, 20 and 85 (Quebec), Highway 2 (New Brunswick), Highways 104 and 105 (Nova Scotia) and Highway 1 (Newfoundland).
