The North Whiteshell section stretches (100 km / 62 miles) from the dam at Seven Sisters Falls to Caddy Lake, via Natalie, Eleanor, Dorothy and Nutimik Lakes on the Winnipeg River, and Betula Lake, White Lake, Brereton Lake, and Rennie.
The North Whiteshell Trail will attempt to link many of the well-developed trails and campsites in Whiteshell Provincial Park. Inverness, Otter Falls, Dorothy Lake, Nutimuk Lake, Betula Lake, Whitelake, Jessica Lake, Brereton Lake, and the town of Rennie all offer trail users natural wonders and daily necessities. The natural beauty of this area makes trail building a challenge but points of interest such as Bannock Point Petroforms and the many water falls will make this a very popular part of the Trains Canada Trail.
Because of the varied and challenging terrain the trail was first developed in areas that are most accessible. We have some of the most attractive, interesting sections of trail completed. As of 2007 approximately 50 kms of trail have been completed. It runs from Rennie to Inverness Falls and Nutimik to Otter Falls. Kiosks presently are located at Rennie, Nutimik, Dorothy Lake and Otter falls.
The windstorm July 2007 affected some of the trail at Betula Lake but there are still some sections that survived and are waiting for you to explore. Information on trail conditions can be obtained by calling or stopping at the Rennie and Seven Sisters Conservation offices, Pinewood Lodge or by calling Joan at 204-348-7635.
The Boreal Shield stretches from Newfoundland & Labrador to Saskatchewan. It is a land of rock, forests, lakes and rivers. The Precambrian Shield rocks are some of the oldest in the world. Coniferous trees dominate the Boreal. These wild lands promise many opportunities to see wildlife.
The North Whiteshell trail offers unlimited opportunities for nature lovers, artists, historians, photographers, cyclists and explorers. Our trails are as varied as the multicultural makeup of our region.

Trail Stewards
Local community groups become ‘stewards’ or ‘caretakers’ of sections of trail and parks in their neighbourhoods. These stewardship groups are the lifeblood of the Trans Canada Trail System. They work in partnership with the municipalities to oversee trail and habitat development, maintenance and educational opportunities.
