If you are looking for a place to cast your line, brave the chilled water with your canoe or kayak, or simply take in a gorgeous view, then a visit to Seine River won’t disappoint! The river rises in the Sandilands Provincial Forest. It passes by or through the communities of Marchand and La Broquerie (as well as Ste. Anne and Lorette), before reaching the Red River Floodway near Winnipeg city limits.
