Carrot River

The Carrot River is a river in north-eastern Saskatchewan, and north-western Manitoba. The river begins at Waterhen Marsh located south of Kinistino, Saskatchewan and continues through north-east Saskatchewan until it empties into the Saskatchewan River north-west of The Pas, Manitoba. The Carrot River serves as the main watershed for north-eastern Saskatchewan as all smaller streams and rivers empty into the Carrot River. This causes major flood problems during the spring run off and rainy seasons around the Town of Carrot River and Red Earth Indian Reserve. The floods usually strand everyone east of the river with very few ways around the flooded area.
