Campground Tips• Help prevent the spread of

aquatic invasive species. Always “Clean, Drain, Dry and Dispose” when using watercraft or water-related equipment.

• Build no fires except in a designated firepit or use a camp stove. Before leaving make sure your fire is completely out.

• Please! Do not litter.

• Be sensitive to wildlife. Bears can be dangerous and should not be fed. Food must be stored away from your campsite, preferably in a locked vehicle, to avoid attracting hungry animals. Do not store food in your tent.

• The use of insect repellent will add to your comfort.

• Learn to recognize and avoid poisonous plants such as poison ivy.

• In case of injury or illness contact a Campground Attendant or Park Patrol Officer. They can assist you to reach medical help.

• Canoeists and hikers travelling in backcountry areas should advise a friend of their intended destination and anticipated length of trip.

• Backcountry camping is only allowed at designated campsites.

• It is illegal to use or transport elm firewood.

• Moving firewood can spread harmful invasive species and destroy our forests. Protect Manitoba’s trees. Don’t move firewood.

More information on the vacation cabins and Hecla/Grindstone Provincial Park is available on request from the park office.

Named after Mount Hekla, the most famous landmark in Iceland, Hecla Provincial Park is a series of islands between the east and west shores of Lake Winnipeg. The park offers 20 cabins locat ed in a peaceful, secludedvacation area. The cabins can accommodate two, four, five, or six people. The lakeshore, beaches, boat launch and dock are all in easy reach of the cabins.

At Hecla, outdoor activities are a must with fishing, sailing, water sports, cultural events, a playground and amphitheater all available. The island features The Hecla Golf Course, a spectacular 18-hole golf course for anyone fancying a game for two of golf for the day.

For a relaxing day in the sun, take a walk up to the Hecla lighthouse or explore nature on Hecla’s hiking trails totaling 60 kilometres. The viewing tower and fishing village are fun activities for the whole family to experience. For a more laid-back day, visit

the heritage museum in Hecla Village.

Birds and other types of wildlife can be viewed from the limestone cobbled lakeshore. Grassy Narrows Marsh is a nature-lovers’ delight. Feast your eyes on the sites of waterfowl, including pelicans, hawks, grebes and terns. Pay close attention and you might see a mighty moose, Hecla’s largest mammal.

Hecla is approximately 184 kilometres (115 miles) north of Winnipeg. It can be reached via Provincial Trunk Highway # 8.
