St. Ambroise Provincial Park

// September 30th, 2009 // Insects, Mammals, Manitoba Tourist Destination, Scenic, St. Ambroise Provincial Park

St. Ambroise Provincial Park features a lovely sand beach with a campground and day use facilities on the south east shore of Lake Manitoba. Lake Manitoba does not appear to be suffering the same type of water quality issues as Lake Winnipeg making it a nicer choice if you wish to go into the water. Close to here is also Delta Marsh (an excellent birding area) where the University of Manitoba has a research station and birds are banded. St. Ambroise is a short drive from the city of Winnipeg making it a great day trip destination. The campground is basic, no places to purchase provisions in the immediate area so take what you need. There is a small general store in the town of St. Ambroise. Today’s photos  of beach critters are from a recent day trip earlier in September.
