The circular shape of the main body of the lake is due to the submerged West Hawk crater, caused by a meteor impact into an ancient rock bed composed of mostly granite. At 115 metres (377 ft), it is the ...
Lake Winnipeg is Canada's sixth-largest freshwater lake [3] and the third-largest freshwater lake contained entirely within Canada, but it is relatively shallow (mean depth of 12 m [39 ft]) [4] excluding a narrow 36 m (118 ft) deep channel between the northern and southern basins. It is the eleventh-largest freshwater lake on Earth.
Therefore, mean depth figures are not available for many deep lakes in remote locations. [9] The average lake on Earth has the mean depth 41.8 meters (137.14 feet) [9] The Caspian Sea ranks much further down the list on mean depth, as it has a large continental shelf (significantly larger than the oceanic basin that contains its greatest depths).

NASA image of the Shoal Lakes in 2008. In 2010 the three lakes flooded into one lake, [3] leaving Provincial Road 229 west of Highway 17 underwater and damaged for 2.5 miles. PR 518 (Ideal Road) was underwater for one mile south of PR 415, and PR 415 west of Inwood, Manitoba was underwater for 2–3 miles.
Whitewater Lake was previously called White Lake due to the color of the salt flats exposed during dry periods. [3] Whitewater Lake covers approximately 22,000 acres on average and only reaches depths of about 2 metres (6.6 ft). [4] The lake is fed by several small streams which flow into it from the Turtle Mountains but has no natural outflow. [4]
