The community of Balsam Bay lies slightly south of Grand Beach. The recorded history of the community reaches back to 1884, when a local cemetery became the official free burial grounds to anyone living in the communities of Stony Point, Beaconia, and Balsam Bay.
The community post office opened for business on 1 November 1887, and the Balsam Bay Church emerged around 1920 ~ its name became St. Luke’s. Balsam Bay is currently home to eight cottage subdivisions and is growing rapidly.
Beaconia was originally named after a beacon that was set up here in the late 19th century. It was a Station House for the Canadian National Railway on the shore of Lake Winnipeg in the first decades of the 20thcentury.
There is now a plaque that commemorates the founding of the village over a hundred years ago.
Bissett originally acted as the service centre for the San Antonio gold mine.
The community of Bissett is located on PTH #304 about 256 kilometers northeast of Winnipeg.
This road has now been extended into the Provincial Nopoming Park and to Wallace Lake, some 32 kilometers to the east, then southward through the park to Bird River Road.
Grand Beach, 80 kilometres (50 min.) north of Winnipeg, has been a favourite Manitoba holiday destination ever since 1916.
Manitoba's little piece of paradise on the prairies.
The board walk that extends along the beach was built in the early 1930s - great for an afternoon walk along the beach. Check out the signs depicting the past glory of one of Manitoba's oldes resorts.
Patricia Beach is situated on a sandy peninsula that extends into Lake Winnipeg, while Beaconia lines a sandy island, joined to the mainland by a causeway. Sitting side by side, the beaches are separated by a channel which joins a marshy lagoon to the Lake.
