Wabowden, Manitoba is a community in northern Manitoba. It is situated on Provincial Trunk Highway #6, which is the main route between Thompson and the provincial capital, Winnipeg.

History

The community originated in the early 20th century as a service point on the Hudson Bay Railway. Although the railway's presence in Wabowden has diminished over time, it continues to serve the community by transporting freight and passengers.

Wabowden's name is derived from that of a one-time railway executive, W.A. Bowden.

Mining

Crowflight Minerals is currently preparing Bucko Lake Mine for rehabilitation. The Mine shaft was developed in the 1970's by Falconbridge Limited.
