The Itinerary

Grand Beach Provincial Park on the southeast shore of Lake Winnipeg holds one of North America's finest freshwater beaches — 3 km of white sand and 12-m-high dunes.

Lake Winnipeg is the world's 10th-largest freshwater lake. The beach is so famous that Coca-Cola filmed an ad here in the 1960s. Nearby: Patricia Beach and Belair Provincial Forest. En route, Selkirk ("world's catfish capital") on the Red River.
