Algae, particularly blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), can form blooms in Manitoba's lakes. Some species produce toxins harmful to humans, and pets.

To minimize health risks, avoid swimming in water with visible green blooms, refrain from drinking untreated lake water, and prevent animals from accessing affected beaches.

For more information, visit the Government of Manitoba’s Beach Safety page here.

Pets are not allowed on provincial park beaches and on most beaches in rural municipalities unless on a leash.

Please be respectful and follow guidelines.

Red River North has two provincal parks located within our boundries:
