Whirlpool Lake
A backcountry-style pike lake in Riding Mountain National Park listed by Parks Canada for road-accessible northern pike fishing. Only non-motorized boats are permitted, and all personal watercraft are banned. A Manitoba national park fishing licence is required. Expect a quieter, wilder experience than the park's front-country lakes.
