Manitoba's Interlake - Inland Oceans, Infinite Possibilities

Manitoba's Interlake

You will be awestruck by Interlake’s spectacular natural beauty. Just north and bordering on the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, the Interlake lies between Lake Winnipeg (the world's 10th largest fresh water lake) and Lake Manitoba with Manitou Island, where Aboriginal lore gives meaning to the origins of the name Manitoba. Discover the rich heritage of this region, as the natural beauty encompasses your soul.

The Interlake's vast region includes areas west along Hwy #6 & Lake Manitoba, northwest to Gypsumville & Dauphin River, pausing to take in the rugged beauty of Steep Rock limestone cliffs.

Traveling along the east side of the Interlake, journey north thru the Red River Valley along the historic River Road, visiting the St. Andrews' Lock & Dam. History of the fur trade and strong Scottish ties to many early pioneers, awaits the visitors enjoyment at Lower Fort Garry NHS
Journey north to the City of Selkirk where the Marine Museum boasts of Lake Winnipeg's long nautical history. As you continue along the shore of Lake Winnipeg thru Gimli, Riverton & Hecla & north to Matheson Island, your journey will be enriched with the history & pride of the Icelandic settlers.

Make your journey thru the heart of the Interlake, celebrating Ukrainian and multicultural settlements along the way. Your travels from the rich, fertile farmlands in the south to lush boreal forests of the north, from the limestone cliffs to our sandy beaches, from the marshy wetlands of Oak Hammock Marsh to the largest concentration of Red- Sided Garter Snakes at Narcisse Snake Dens are sure to be filled with adventure, fun and unique activities for all ages. Travel by car, by rail, by boat or geocache the area for a new look at our Interlake.
