Boat Route Map
Lake Minnewasta is a small lake approximately 1/2 kilometre wide by 3 kilometres long. There are two areas at either end of Lake Minnewasta that are restricted to motorized boats, the beach area and the back of the lake. Restricting the area at the back of the lake enables the vegetation that fish use to spawn, to mature, as well as improves the water quality.
