It's a nice spot to go fishing and it's easy to dock your boat. Fishing on the river or going into the big lake Manitoba.

We were riding across Canada and need a place to camp near Winnepeg. They welcomed us with open arms! Extremely hospitable, friendly, and welcoming. We couldn't have been luckier in finding a camp site. Right on the river. Has a nice pool, clean showers, and a small camp store that has food, beer, and other supplies. Highly recommend.
