Nelson Rapids

Nelson Rapids is a very prominent feature located on the North Seal River just west of Egenolf Lake, Manitoba, which occur in a narrow section where the river is approximately 75 meters wide. The entire length of the rapids is nearly 700 meters.

Nelson Rapids is named after a Canadian war casualty, Private Loren Nelson from Sprague, Manitoba. Loren Nelson died near Werlte, Germany on 10 April 1945.[1]
