It is a nice place for summer campgrounds. You can swim because the water is warm enough. It will be more enjoyable if you have a boat or canoe.

Campers staying at the Nutimik Lake Campground should not miss out on seeing the Whiteshell River Suspension Bridge. Following along, the short trail known as the Whiteshell River Bridge Trail will lead you to the suspension bridge taking you over the Whiteshell River.
The Whiteshell Suspension Bridge reveals the most beautiful views the park has to offer while also allowing for amazing photos to capture the moment forever. Much wildlife is known to be spotted while on this bridge, so always have your eyes on the lookout for some moose, bear, deer and other four-legged friends!

Another one of Manitoba’s most popular trails is the Pine Point Trail, located within Whiteshell Provincial Park. The pathway to Pine Point Rapids is easy to follow, but for those seeking a more challenging approach, a more difficult trail will lead you along the riverside. Once the first set of rapids has been reached, there is a seating area with tables and firepits where you can comfortably watch the sunset while surrounded by the beauty of nature. If you didn’t start this trail just to sit around somewhere, you could look forwards to the waterfalls and rapids further up the hike.
Unlike the first half of the trail, the second bit is more tricky as it leads you over rocky surfaces and through quiet forests. As not many people continue up to the second portion of this trail, you can look forwards to being one-on-one with the wilderness and its marvellous still presence.

The Petroforms are stones or boulders shaped into patterns by Indigenous ancestors.
The Bannock Point Petroforms are figures laid out on bedrock in the forms of turtles, snakes and humans, and abstract patterns.
While the petroform site has been named the Bannock Point Petroforms, many still acknowledge the site as its original name in Anishinaabemowin (the Ojibwe language) as Manidoo-Abi, translated to English as “Where the Spirit Sits.”

Whiteshell Provincial Park has so much to offer, the Caddy Lake Tunnels being yet another astounding one of its attractions. Caddy Lake Tunnels is a rocky enclosed lake made of granite tunnels that perfectly fit canoes or motorboats through. Created during the construction of a railway, the two tunnels are connected as they guide you through the South and North Cross Lakes. One tunnel will lead you to South Cross Lake, where the waters are calm, and campsites can be found and used to your preference!
While the other tunnel will welcome you to the North Cross Lake, known for its beauty and excellent swimming area. If you don’t have a canoe, no worries! Caddy Lake offers canoe rentals to accommodate your visit and ensure you are satisfied.
