Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) exist for the benefit of wildlife and for the enjoyment of people. The Interlake’s abundance of WMA lands play an important role in biodiversity, conservation and provide a place where the public can engage in a wide variety of recreational activities, including hunting, trapping, berry-picking and wildlife viewing. With twenty-eight WMAs, totaling almost 600,000 acres, a wide range of habitats and wildlife species are present. From the wetlands and grasslands of Oak Hammock Marsh WMA, to the aspen parklands of Narcisse WMA and the boreal forest of Mantagao Lake WMA, the sights and sounds of wildlife abounds. Marvel at the vista of thousands of Canada geese returning to their wetland roost at sunset, the sight of slithering masses of red-sided garter snakes newly emerged from their winter home and the sound of bugling bull elk on a cool September morning. The many roads, trails and waterways found in the Interlake WMAs lead to unique adventures and making lasting memories.

Birding (or birdwatching) has become one of the fastest growing hobbies in North America. As the name suggests, it’s the act of watching, monitoring, feeding, filming, or photographing birds — of which there are more than 450 different kinds in Canada. It is an affordable activity accessible to everyone. All that is needed is a good identification book (or app), a pair of binoculars and you’re ready to hit the trails. The Interlake region offers a rich diversity of habitats with our long shorelines, rivers and wetlands straddling the aspen-parkland, boreal and prairie biomes. We are also situated on the busiest migratory route in North America, used by billions of bird each year. Here is a list of some of the noteworthy sites to find a great variety or very specific bird species.

Oak Hammock Marsh Wildlife Management Area Summer is great for ducks and ducklings and Oak Hammock Marsh is one of North American’s birding marsh specialities like shorebirds, grebes, rails, hotspots and a must see for any birding adventure.

Lemieuz Statues - Located approximately 1 mile south of Grahamdale, along PTH 6 A rebirth has happened in the northwest area of the Interlake! Armand Lemieuz, a painter and artist, originally from Belgium was a master at turning his Start of Gimli Sea Wall Gallery farmland into his own outdoor gallery. Being a very creative man, he channeled his mind into both his farming and his art. Building his house to showcase his art was important; however, he was so prolific he ran out of room. Eventually he had to build a separate cinderblock building. At age 72 he began an ambitious project of creating 21 large concrete sculptures, designed to interact with their surroundings and on a wide range of subjects. Before his death he wished the government to turn his homestead into a park- it was decided his work was of “No cultural value”, the paintings were lost and the wilderness reclaimed his gallery. Explore the Barn Quilt Chapel grounds now and glimpse into Lemiez’s world of Barn at Arborg Sculpture.The site will be open seasonally - June – Village October, see the signage at the highway.
