Whiteshell - Opapiskaw

Opapiskaw, within Whiteshell Provincial Park, is a perfect place to get close to nature. In fact, some of the wildlife might come to visit you! The campground offers you two beaches, beautifully surrounded by natural rock landscape, and a peninsula with a footpath that will lead you to rushing waters; these waters also provide good fishing opportunities. Some activities in the area include volleyball, tennis, boating, hiking, mountain biking, and visiting the Petroforms and the Whiteshell Natural History Museum. Both electrical and basic camping are offered in the campground. A store, playground, group use area, and boat launch are within a convenient distance from the campground.
