Manitoba’s Interlake region is my home away from home. Born and raised in Winnipeg with family in the Interlake that we visited often enough to give the travel to and from a comforting sense of home. As a kid, I rarely paid attention to most of the sites as they passed me by, but as an adult rolling down the roads, there are often memories I did not know I had popping up.
I get to remember but I also get to discover. The childhood drives were almost never ones of exploration, only a race to a destination. Now I visit Manitoba’s Interlake not with one destination but with many. Sometimes no destination, just a random ride on a random road. Sometimes it is a beauty to behold while others are white knuckle rides on the roughest of the rough rural roads. I always return home in one piece and at peace.
Manitoba’s Interlake has a lot to offer and a lot to see and Interlake Tourism has curated a special Interlake Manitoba by Motorcycle route that covers the top 20 destinations. The Interlake loop has it all: Vikings, snakes, marshes, even a quarry park!
Visit the statues, the provincial parks, the amazing beaches and enjoy some of the finest food found in Manitoba. Dip your toes in Lake Manitoba then ride on over and dip your toes in Lake Winnipeg. Visit the lighthouse in Hecla and cast a line by the dam in Lockport. Learn more about nature at the infamous Oak Hammock Marsh Interpretive Centre.
As they say “Discover how your heart beats in the Interlake”. Go for a ride and find out.
