Dragline Channel[1] is a man-made channel in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Originally built by the Hudson's Bay Company in the 1930s, it connects the Old Saskatchewan River Channel to Cut Beaver River[2] at the western end of the Cumberland Marshes.[3] Cut Beaver is a tributary of the Birch River, which in turn is a tributary of the Carrot River. The Dragline Channel connects the Saskatchewan River to the Carrot River watershed. The Carrot River joins the Saskatchewan River downstream, just west of The Pas in Manitoba.[4]
