Watrous and Manitou Beach
RVers are passionate about Watrous and Manitou Beach, two small neighbouring communities that make for one spectacular getaway. Little Manitou Lake is unique to North America due to its high mineral content, which has led people to seek healing by soaking in its waters. There is a spa in town with a heated mineral pool, or you can go to the beach and soak your worries away. In the evening, people flock to Danceland in Watrous, for an evening of music, dance and historical interest.
