Weekend Trip to Lake Winnipeg Beachfront Eyrarbakki

Amazing stay, we found a ittle piece of heaven. Our family of three stay one night and we loved how peaceful our stay was. I hope to come back soon. Thanks Nelson for being a great host.

1 night at Lake Winnipeg Beachfront Eyrarbakki

Great place to camp along the lake. You can swim if you have swim shoes because of rocks.
