Trip to Elk Island looking for Chanterelles
As my mother is over visiting I thought it might be a nice idea to take the canoe to Elk Island.
We packed the canoe on the roof of the Jeep and drove to the boat launch across from the island.

A History of Hillside Beach Manitoba
I came across this interesting history for Hillside Beach the other day. I knew Harry Craig and knew that his sister Mrs. Williams owned land. I didn’t realize that there is more to the past of Hillside Beach.
berry picking
Huckleberry and Blueberry picking time has come
Now is also the perfect time to go blueberry picking and huckleberry picking along the Beaches of Lake Winnipeg.
Blueberries and Huckleberries are basically the same thing though some say the real Huckleberry has larger seeds, making it more difficult to eat.
mushroom picking
Mushroom, Chanterelle picking Season at Lake Winnipeg
Chanterelle. Unlike other mushrooms Chanterelle are easy to recognise. They are bright yellow, and grow in a funnel shape.
A good place to go Chanterelle picking is Elk Island this time of year.

Cottage / Cabin for Rent, Victoria Beach, Hillside Beach, etc
August and early September are the perfect time to go to Manitoba’s Beaches! Weather is warm, mid to upper 80s, it is the sunniest time of year and the mosquitos have quieted down. Enjoy the summer by renting a cottage for a week.

Speaking of Strawberries, what about blueberries and huckleberries
We used to go blueberry picking on Elk Island and along Hwy 59, just south of the turnoff for Belair.

Renting cottages in Victoria Beach Restricted Area
Many people look to rent cottages in the Restricted Area of Victoria Beach Manitoba. The restricted area of Victoria Beach is a closed off portion of the community that does not allow motor vehicle traffice during the summer months. This ensures quiet streets, free of motor vehicle traffic and has been in place since the early parts of the 20th century.
