Elk Island Beaches and Boreal Forest Private Hiking Tour
Travel north to the rugged shores of Lake Winnipeg—the world’s 11th largest freshwater lake—to explore the undeveloped wilderness of Elk Island Provincial Park. This guided day-trip begins with an unhurried drive featuring local commentary on the area's history and geography, stopping at a coffee shop along the way. Upon arrival at destination, the hike begins with a unique shallow water crossing and a walk along a sweeping sandspit before entering the island's boreal interior. You will hike through quiet forested trails that suddenly open up to a dramatic northern shore where massive sand cliffs and open water create a sense of total isolation. After completing the island circuit, the adventure returns to the mainland. Refuel with a meal at a local restaurant, cap off the day with a stroll along the world-famous white sands of Grand Beach, and enjoy a relaxing drive back.
