Grand Rapids is at the mouth of the Saskatchewan River on the western side of Lake Winnipeg in central Canada and is in the western part of the region formerly covered by Glacial Lake Agassiz.Relict beaches and cliffs, and abandoned spillway and stream channels have been observed in the area. Much of the Paleozoic bedrock is covered by Quaternary deposits consisting of three or four Wisconsin tills interspersed and covered by glacio–lacustrine silts and clays.The events are correlated with the final four episodes in the general history of Lake Agassiz and it appears that after substantial changes in the drainage pattern, the recent course of the lower reaches of the Saskatchewan River developed during the last 8 000 ± 250 y.
