This page is centred on Gull Harbour, near the island's north end, where the park's main campground is. Two wildlife refuges, Grindstone Point and Hecla Island (3,848 ha), cover much of the land, and the Observation Point Wildlife Management Area, Beaver Creek Provincial Park and the Sandy Bar Special Conservation Area are 27 to 30 km away. The fishing is Lake Winnipeg itself, plus a string of small trout ponds named after rocks, Mica, Dolomite, Sandstone, Limestone, Granite and Quartz, 12 to 17 km from Gull Harbour. Bifrost Riverton Campground is about 33 km away. This page rounds up the region's public land, fishing spots, campgrounds and road trips.
