Willow Island

Overview

Willow Island is a spot on the west shore of Lake Winnipeg, near Gimli. Willow Island offers a partially protected sailing area with conditions suited for intermediate levels.

The island creates a partially sheltered water body while still receiving east winds with the large Lake Winnipeg fetch. Calmer area than the open beaches. Popular with local Interlake kitesurfers. Season from June to October.
