Rivers Campground

Within the rolling hills of southwestern Manitoba is Rivers Campground. Lake Wahtopanah, on which the campground is found, is actually a reservoir that was created by damming the Little Saskatchewan River. Fishermen can reel in pike, walleye, and perch, and then clean them in the fish cleaning shack later in the day. The early pioneers, whose hard work built the community, are honored at the Clack Family Heritage Museum. Many of the electrical or basic sites in the campground have a lakeview. The park has a boat launch, beach facilities, and playground. Other concessions can be purchased from merchants in the town of Rivers, which is within 3 kilometres away. There is also a group use area that is ideal for large groups.

In the campground: dump station (near campground office), firewood (available for purchase), kiosk (campground office), modern washrooms, showers, picnic areas (in day use area), picnic shelters, pit privies, playground (at beach), and water taps.

Elsewhere in the park: biking, boat launch (near the dam), boating, canoeing (Lake Wahtopanah), fishing (license required), mini golf, hiking (self guided trail), rentals (canoe, kayak, paddle boat), restaurant, swimming (unsupervised beach), and volleyball.
