Meadow Portage is a community in the Canadian province of Manitoba.

[1] The portage avoids a longer river-journey option north (via Long Island Bay to the West Waterhen River and Waterhen Lake, then a sharp turn south to the Waterhen River), a savings of about 70 km to Lake Manitoba.

Meadow Portage was originally inhabited by the Cree, Assiniboines, and the Ojibway peoples.

The Hudson Bay Company then set up a trading post near the shore of Lake Manitoba in order to facilitate the fur trade.
