General presentation
Little Manitou Lake and Manitou Beach
Salty lake with very floating waters associated with a small spa in the middle of the fields.
Little Manitou Lake and Manitou Beach are found around Little Manitou Lake, Manitou Beach and Danceland. The stay thus alternates between the shores and the lakes, the countryside and the natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only most famous site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature and landscape
Little Manitou Lake
Little Manitou Lake is known for its very mineralized water, which gives the bath an unusual buoyancy. The landscape remains that of a lake of the Prairies, but the experience is singular: one lengthens in the water almost effortlessly, with the low banks and the immense sky around itself.
Nature and landscape
Manitou Beach
Manitou Beach gathers the beach, accommodations, mineral baths and some retro addresses around Little Manitou Lake. The place keeps an atmosphere of spa of the Prairies, where it comes as much to float in saltwater as to spend a quiet evening near the lake.
Place indismissible
Danceland
Danceland is a historic ballroom in Manitou Beach, famous for its soft floor and its atmosphere from other times. When music fills the large room, the place tells a social tradition of the Prairies made up of balls, summer meetings and evenings by the lake.
Place indismissible
Watrous
Watrous is the small service town that accompanies Manitou Beach and Little Manitou Lake, with shops, restaurants and easy access to mineral baths. It offers a convenient base in a rural area, more discreet than the beach itself, but useful to understand the daily life around the lake.
