About Birch Island Provincial Park
Birch Island Provincial Park is a remote provincial park located on Lake Winnipegosis in Manitoba, Canada. The park is bordered on its western boundary by the Swan-Pelican Provincial Forest and on its eastern side by Chitek Lake Anishinaabe Provincial Park. Surface bedrock on Birch Island is Devonian limestone and dolomite. The Keewatin Glacier contributed a 4 foot layer of ground moraine. Post-glacial Lake Agassiz gradually drained away leaving the modern group of lakes, Lake Winnipeg, Lake Winnipegosis and Lake Manitoba. Soils on the island are classified as eutric brunisol.
