Wasagaming

On our return from Duck Mountain to Winnipeg last Tuesday, we took a trip through the Riding Mountain National Park and stopped off at Wasagaming on the southern side for a spot of Lunch. Unlike Australian National Parks, which have little in the way of human habitation, this park was teeming with human life and incorporated an entire settlement, Wasagaming, which was the park's headquarters and tourist magnet.

The headquarters even had a flower bed in front in the form of E II R. The main street was clogged with shops selling everything needed for a stay and there were loads of restaurants. We chose, inappropriately?, the White House! There was also a lot of tourist accommodation to suit all pockets and the place was crowded at the start of the summer holiday season.

And the township is draped around  lovely Clear Lake with its beaches and marina. These are shown on the next couple of slides and they were also crowded on a hot day.

Nice spot! I could have spent longer there but for the trip to Neepawa, self-proclaimed lily capital of the world. The festival appeared to be the following week, but we did see a lily farm which gave credence to the claim.
