TextPublication details: Winnipeg, MB : 1975. Department of Mines, Resources and Environmental Management,Description: 18 p. : maps ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: Unplanned human use of Lizard Lake, a large marsh in south-central Manitoba, has created some serious problems for agriculture and recreation. Unsuccessfully breached by early settlers, the 2300-acre wetland today is at once unsatisfactory for agriculture, wildlife and recreation. Problems stemming from non-management of Lizard lake have festered locally in the rural municipalities of Pembina and Thompson since the turn of the century. Provincial engineers and wildlife biologists have been involved in the controversy for at least 20 years.The project currently rests with Water Resources and Resource Projects Branches, Department of Mines, Resources and Environmental Management.This paper proposes Lizard Lake and some adjacent upland areas be designated a Wildlife Management Area. Basic to the plan are increased wildlife production and recreational potential and reduced downstream erosion and flooding. More detailed information on soils, topography,physiography, hydrology, glaciatio
