A four-season playground
Lac du Bonnet sits at the gateway to two provincial parks, where the Winnipeg River widens into pristine lakes and the Canadian Shield meets the boreal forest. Ninety minutes from Winnipeg, a lifetime from ordinary.
Eastern Manitoba's lake country delivers something rare: genuine four-season adventure without the crowds. From spring walleye runs to summer floats down the Pinawa Channel, fall colours on Shield rock, and winter trails lit by the northern lights — Lac du Bonnet rewards every visit with something different.
The town of 1,100 sits where the Winnipeg River meets Lac du Bonnet lake, with Whiteshell Provincial Park to the south and Nopiming Provincial Park to the north. Whether you're here for a weekend or a full week, you won't run out of things to do.
