On one side of the region is Whiteshell Provincial Park, which offers year-round access to beautiful lakes and forests. This park is also home to the sacred Bannock Point Petroforms, an important site for Indigenous teaching and ceremony. On the other side of the region is Grand Beach Provincial Park and its three kilometres of soft white sand.
