All about Grand Marais

An hour north of Winnipeg, the small village of Grand Marais is the perfect pushing-off point for exploring Lake Winnipeg and its myriad outdoor activities. The lake’s calm waters are well suited for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, and kayaking in the warmer months. On windy days, the lake can also be fun for windsurfing.

Away from the water, in nearby Grand Beach Provincial Park, you’ll find a variety of hiking and biking trails that lead through rolling fields and boreal forests where moose, woodland caribou, omnivorous black bears, and river otters are known to roam. For indoor activities, head to the Heritage Wing of the Grand Marais Community Central, which aims to inspire appreciation of the area’s culture and history. Most notably, it houses a miniature model of the old Grand Beach boardwalk. On Friday evenings, Grand Marais also plays host to a farmers’ market and craft fair.
