Opapiskaw Campground Beach

Pinawa, Manitoba

Opapiskaw beach is located in the Opapiskaw Campground along the Winnipeg River. Hiking trails are available around the campground as many travellers come to admire the natural scenery. Nightime productions are performed in the amphitheater about the natural wonders of the area. The park is located on the Canadian shield and is a prime example of natural boreal forest wildlife. The rushing waters attract many fishermen throughout the season.

COVID-19

Keep your distance from other people.

Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
