St. Ambroise Beach Provincial Park |
 |
Birdwatchers start heading to this park, on the southern shores of Lake Manitoba, in late April. For it's in spring that a wide variety of birds including, warblers, geese, and pelicans flock to St. Ambroise as a stopover in their travels. In summer, this park is especially popular with families, as the shallow waters and sandbars serve as a natural playground. Comb the shores, and listen to the songs of the summer residents such as catbirds, american goldfinches, and yellow-headed blackbirds. Take care not to disturb the nest of the endangered piping plover. Paddle out to the smooth sand inlets scattered just off-shore. On the other side of this sand barrier park you'll find Sioux Pass Marsh featuring a boardwalk trail that will give you a glimpse of life in this wetland. Explore St. Ambroise just for a day, or set-up camp close to the water and let the waves lull you to sleep at night.
Camp at your choice of basic or electrically serviced campsites along the shores of Lake Manitoba.
