As a result, the water warms up quickly early in the summer.Īccommodation is plentiful.
The lake is shallow throughout and slightly grey. No matter which side you choose, the one thing in common is warm water. This is true cottage country and has been since the 1920s. Calmer waters are the norm here, and the beaches are comparable to those on the west side. Farther up from that is Hecla / Grindstone Provincial Park. On the west side, you have the summer towns of Ponemah, Winnipeg Beach, Sandy Hook, and Gimli. The east side is a more popular day trip destination, driven primarily by the popularity of Grand Beach Provincial Park. The sunsets from this side of the lake are spectacular. This is the rough water side of the lake, as the prevailing winds come from the west and drive waves up against the shoreline. Over here, you'll get a combination of beautiful beaches and rocky shorelines. On the east side of the lake, you have Grand Beach Provincial Park along with the summer cottage town of Victoria Beach. On both sides, you'll find cottages along the shorelines.
A raging debate goes on and on about which side of the lake is better. The west shoreline is longer and more accessible, with more towns, while the east side is shorter, with fewer access points.Ī majority of the lake is untouched, and the developed portion, which accounts for only 10 to 15 percent of the entire lake area, is only in the south. Stretching for 416 kilometers, the lake has many different faces depending on which shoreline you are on and how far south or north you travel. The remnants of a massive glacial lake, Lake Winnipeg is different wherever you go. Lake Winnipeg is the destination of choice for Manitobans as they escape to the country in the summertime.
