Patricia Beach Provincial Park

Patricia Beach Provincial Park covers 54 hectares along the southeastern shore of Balsam Bay on Lake Winnipeg. The landscape includes sandy beaches, dunes, and forested sections that create a varied coastal environment.

Manitoba established this park in 1961 as a protected area for the ecosystem and public recreation. Its creation reflected provincial efforts to preserve the lake's diverse coastal habitats.

The park serves as part of the Netley-Libau Marsh Important Bird Area, where over 220 bird species gather during their seasonal migrations.

The park is accessible via Manitoba Provincial Road 319 and offers parking areas along with basic facilities like washrooms. Summer concession services are available on-site during warmer months.

A narrow strip of sand and gravel separates Balsam Bay from Beaconia Lake behind it and creates a natural link to Lake Winnipeg. This unusual formation allows visitors to experience three bodies of water from a single location.
