Oak Lake (Manitoba)
Oak Lake is a lake in the south-western part of the Canadian province of Manitoba in a region called Westman. Oak Lake is a kettle lake and is an aquifer supplier for numerous nearby residential areas and farms. The lake is in the RM of Sifton and sits at an elevation of 426 metres above sea level. Provincial Road 254 provides access to the lake. At , Oak Lake is the largest lake in the region and its primary surface inflow is Pipestone Creek, which originates in Saskatchewan. Pipestone Creek enters the lake in the north-west corner through Oak Lake Marsh, which itself is four times the size of Oak Lake. At the southern end of the lake is Oak Lake Dam (49°38′27″N, 100°45′8″W). While Oak Lake is not a man-made lake, the dam is used to regulate water levels.

The Souris River is part of the Red River drainage basin, which is part of the Hudson B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rural Municipality Of Sifton
The Rural Municipality of Sifton is a rural municipality (RM) in the south-west portion of the Canadian province of Manitoba. History The RM was incorporated in 1883. The former town of Oak Lake, located within Sifton, annexed by the RM on January 1, 2015 as a requirement of ''The Municipal Amalgamations Act'', which required municipalities with a population less than 1,000 to amalgamate with neighbouring municipalities. The Government of Manitoba initiated these amalgamations in order for municipalities to meet the 1997 minimum population requirement of 1,000 to incorporate a municipality. Geography The most prominent geographical feature in the RM is Oak Lake. Other lakes include Plum Lakes and Maple Lake. The Assiniboine River runs near the northern border of the RM and at the extreme south-east corner of the RM is the Souris River. Other notable rivers include Pipestone Creek and Plum Creek.
