Canada

Hecla-Grindstone Provincial Park

Manitoba

About this location

A cluster of islands in Lake Winnipeg, connected by causeway to the mainland, where Icelandic settlers built their first Canadian homes in the 1870s. The lake is vast and temperamental — more like an inland sea than a lake. White pelicans nest by the thousands. The sunsets over the water turn everything gold. For anyone with roots in Manitoba's Interlake, or simply a love of enormous, quiet water, Hecla is irreplaceable.
