Warren Landing, Manitoba

Warren Landing, Manitoba

Warren Landing is a small community in Manitoba, Canada. It is located approximately 500 kilometers north from Winnipeg, at the northern end of Lake Winnipeg on Big Mossy Point, where the Nelson River originates.

The settlement is served by airplane, however there is no airstrip. A winter road connects the settlement west to Grand Rapids, Manitoba. The nearest other community is Norway House, located approximately 30 kilometers north.

Warren Landing was named after a Hudson's Bay Company gentleman John Warren, who was seriously wounded during the Red River Rebellion and died in the settlement. He was buried with military honors. A fish station, largest of the lake, was also located in Warren Landing. The settlement was also the northernmost dock for many Lake Winnipeg steamboats. [cite web
