The white limestone cliffs, 10 m high, are reminiscent of the White Cliffs of Dover and are a unique geological site in Manitoba. The spot offers eastern exposure on Lake Manitoba with considerable fetch. The white sand beach at the foot of the cliffs creates an exceptional setting for kitesurfing. Camping and facilities available in the park.
