Lake Winnipeg

One of the most beautiful lakes in Manitoba is Lake Winnipeg. When Manitobans want to get away from the city in the summer, they go to Lake Winnipeg. Lake Winnipeg, the remains of a huge glacial lake, varies depending on where you are.

Depending on which coast you are on and how far south or north you travel, the lake's 416 km length presents a variety of faces. While the east side is shorter and has fewer access points, the west shoreline is longer, more accessible, and has more settlements.

Victoria Beach, a summer vacation destination, and Grand Beach Provincial Park are both located on the east side of the lake. You may find both gorgeous beaches and rocky shorelines in this area. This is the lake's side with the roughest waters since the predominant winds out of the west push the waves up against the beach. On this side of the lake, the sunsets are magnificent.

The one thing that both sides have in common is warm water. The entire lake is shallow and a little bit gray. Early in the summer, the water warms up quickly as a result. Accommodations are abundant. You can book a cottage rental, stay in a bed & breakfast, book a cheap or expensive hotel room, or pitch a tent at one of the numerous public or exclusive campgrounds.
