Asessippi Provincial Park, Provincial park in Shellmouth-Boulton, Manitoba, Canada
The 23-square-kilometer park extends along Lake of the Prairies, featuring aspen forests, rolling hills, and prairie grasslands at the Assiniboine River valley.
The park received its designation on April 9, 1964, following the construction of Shellmouth Dam, which created the 67-kilometer Lake of the Prairies.
The name Asessippi comes from Cree language elements, with 'sipiy' meaning river and possibly combining words for clam shell or stone.
The park maintains 100 campsites with electrical hookups, water access, showers, dump stations, boat launches, and fish cleaning stations for visitors.
Annual flooding creates stepped terraces in alluvial deposits from glaciation, visible at the pavilion area and former Asessippi townsite location.
