    Eastern Parks Whiteshell Provincial Park Introduction Cree catching sturgeon between the island and south shore of La Barrière (aux Esturgeons) before the arrival of European explorers and fur traders. With an area of 2,729 km2, Whiteshell Provincial Park is characterized by numerous lakes, rivers and Réal Bérard the rugged Precambrian Shield. Forested areas are typically boreal forest of black spruce, white spruce and balsam fir, intermixed with trembling aspen, balsam poplar, and poorly drained tamarack or black spruce fens and bogs. Classified as a Natural Park, its purpose is to preserve areas that are representative of the Lake of the Woods portion of the Manitoba Lowlands Natural Region and provide a diversity of recreational opportunities and resource uses. The park will: Provide nature-oriented recreational opportunities such as hiking, canoeing, mountain biking, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing that depend on a pristine or a largely undisturbed environment; Provide high-quality cottaging, camping, boating and angling opportunities, and accommodate related commercial developments, services and facilities such as lodges, trails, campgrounds, day-use areas and picnic sites; Protect and profile historical, cultural and archaeological sites; Promote public appreciation and understanding of the park's natural features; and Accommodate commercial resource uses such as forestry, mining and wild rice harvesting where such activities do not compromise other purposes. The Earliest Times From archaeological excavations along the Winnipeg River, human presence in the Whiteshell area has been traced back to at least 8,000 years ago. The different styles of projectile points, scrapers, hammerstones and ceramics indicate that the sites were periodically occupied by various cultural groups.
