St. Ambroise Beach Provincial Park
St. Ambroise Beach is a provincial park on the shore of Lake Manitoba in the Rural Municipality of Portage la Prairie. Established in 1961, the park lies in the Lake Manitoba Plain Ecoregion and is surrounded by marshland, which provides a habitat for waterfowl. The park is open to the public for recreational activities and birding. Piping plovers nest on the beach and warblers, geese and pelicans pass through the park during migration season. A boardwalk with a viewing tower extends into the marsh. St. Ambroise Beach is a stop on the international Pine to  Prairie birding trail, which runs from Minnesota through Manitoba. As a result of extreme flooding in the 2011 Spring, the campground facility was closed. However, in July 2013 the day-use areas at St. Ambroise Beach Provincial Park were able to be re-opened. How ever the Campground is going to Re Open in 2021 with a full restaurant and bar with VLTS.
