Whiteshell Provincial Park, Provincial park in eastern Manitoba, Canada.

Whiteshell Provincial Park covers 275,210 hectares of the Lake of the Woods Ecoregion in southeastern Manitoba, about 120 kilometres east of Winnipeg. Three rivers, the Winnipeg, Whiteshell and Rennie, thread through chains of lakes such as Falcon, West Hawk, Caddy and Big Whiteshell. Pink granite ridges, cliffs and flat rock shelves edge the water, backed by boreal forest.

The area became a protected provincial park in 1961 when Manitoba established it to conserve the natural landscape while allowing public recreation. This designation reflected efforts to balance resource protection with community access during that era.

The park's name comes from the small cowrie shells that Anishinaabe peoples, including Ojibway and Midewiwin practitioners, used in ceremonies; the shells symbolize the Creator and the path of life. Visitors are asked not to touch the shells and to report petroforms found in remote areas to park staff. Indigenous peoples still harvest wild rice and hold ceremonies here.

Visitors can choose from campsites, log cabins, and resorts at various lakes, including a hotel at Falcon Lake where amenities are available. Summer and early autumn offer the most comfortable visiting conditions with warm weather and good trail access.

The park's name comes from the small cowrie shells that Anishinaabe ceremonies used, including Midewiwin practitioners; the German source says the creator breathed life into the first person through them. Park staff ask visitors not to touch shells or petroforms found in remote areas and to report petroform discoveries to staff.
