Last-minute getaway ideas from Winnipeg?
Our plans for this weekend (Fri–Sun) are a little up in the air, and I’d love some recommendations!
We’re a small group of friends/family leaving from Winnipeg. We’re open to either staying 1–2 nights somewhere or just doing a really good day trip if accommodations are hard to find last minute.
Ideally looking for somewhere with a mix of:
-Beach/lake time
-BBQ/picnic
-Water activities or boat rentals
-Nice scenery / hidden gems
-Maybe a cruise
-A good hike for me - the rest of the group may or may not join :(
Somewhere that actually feels like a little getaway rather than just another day in the city.
I’ve been working extremely hard lately and really want to use this weekend to get out of Winnipeg, relax, have some fun, and enjoy summer before it disappears.
I was originally thinking Clear Lake/Riding Mountain, but I’m very open to Whiteshell, Falcon/West Hawk, Gimli/Hecla, Pinawa, Kenora, or somewhere I haven’t thought of. More votes in the group for Kenora!
If you had Fri–Sun free this weekend, where would you go? Would truly appreciate specific cabins/hotels, beaches, hikes, waterfalls, boat rentals, activities, or places to eat!
