Red Willow Lake

A little more than two miles from the Manitoba-Ontario boundary, the Red Willow Lake outpost is situated on the Poplar River network. Red Willow has beautiful east rapids with a height difference of more than 100 feet (30.5m). Trophy walleye, northern pike, and perch can be found in this lake, which offers some of the best fishing in the province of Manitoba. Red Willow is 16 kilometers (10 miles) long, with an average depth of 12 to 14 feet (3.7-4.3m). The water here is forty feet deep at its deepest (12m). Since 1882, the 60 acre lake has served as a recreational facility, drawing both domestic and foreign visitors.

There are campers and resorts along the lake's 4.5 km of shoreline, including the family-run Red Willow Lake Resort. The resort is located where the lake's historic leisure area once stood, and it has played home to many events throughout the years.

The resort offers paddleboat and boat rentals along with a swimming beach, a boat ramp, and a fishing pier. Although camping is only available at Red Willow Lake Resort, the secluded lake is surrounded by trees and other vegetation.
