Moose Lake Small Craft Harbour, is located on the western shore of South Moose Lake in Manitoba near the Saskatchewan River Delta. The Site is an irregularly shaped water lot with an estimated total area of approximately 0.85 ha. The Site is currently used as a Small Craft Harbour, accessible by the general public. The site is bounded by the waters of South Moose Lake to the north, south and east and an access road leading to the Moose Lake community to the west.
DFO-SCH is planning to undertake harbour improvements at the Moose Lake, Manitoba Small Craft Harbour site. DFO-SCH is responsible for maintaining safe and accessible harbours at Moose Lake, MB. The Fishers of Moose Lake require an additional wharf to safely and efficiently offload their catch. In addition, the existing floating docks have reached the end of their economic life and require replacement.
The following work will be undertaken by a contractor:
- Demolition, removal and disposal of two (2) 1.8m x 6.1m principal floating docks
- Installation of two (2) existing 1.8m x 6.7m principal floating docks
- Installation of a new treated timber crib and span wharf complete with ballast rock, stone mattress, curbing, and ladder.
