The Brokenhead River is a river in eastern Manitoba, Canada. It flows north from its source in the Brokenhead Swamp[3] within Sandilands Provincial Forest,[4] to its mouth in Lake Winnipeg south of Stoney Point.[5][1]
The Brokenhead is navigable by canoe for much of its length.[6][7] Fishers based in the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation use the lower reaches of the river to access Lake Winnipeg.[8]
Brokenhead River Ecological Reserve preserves 66 hectares (160 acres) of river-bottom forest adjacent to the river in the Rural Municipality of Brokenhead.[9]
Hazel Creek joins the Brokenhead as a right tributary several miles north of PTH 15.[10] Bears Creek joins as a right tributary south of Mile 76 road N.[11] Beaver Creek joins as a left tributary south of PR 435.[12]
