Wynyard Attractions
Wynyard (population 2187) is another small place with something to see - in this case the Frank Cameron Museum.
Only a short drive away to the north are the Quill Lakes.
The medicinal properties of the mineral rich, 19 km / 12 mi long Little Manitou Lake were well known to the early Indians, to whom it was the "Place of the Healing Waters". In its heyday the lake was called the "Karlsbad of Canada", the mineral content of the water being similar to that of the famous German spa. A new attraction has recently been added in the shape of the Manitou Springs Mineral Spa at Manitou Beach. Opened in 1988 this is now the largest indoor mineral bath in Canada.
Lying on a major bird migration route Quill Lakes are a resting place and breeding ground for many.
At Plunkett a detour via Hwy. 365 leads to Little Manitou Lake.
