Hecla/Grindstone Provincial Park is located approximately 150 kilometres north of Winnipeg on the western shores of Lake Manitoba. The park is 108,400 hectares (ha), and is characterized by a peninsula of land, a causeway, a series of islands and adjacent waters in Lake Winnipeg. Landscapes are varied, and include areas of coniferous and mixed forests, limestone cliffs and silica sand beaches, as well as marshes, bogs, fens and wet meadows.

Classified as a Natural Park, its purpose is to preserve areas that are representative of the Mid Boreal Lowland portion of the Manitoba Lowlands Natural Region; and accommodate a diversity of recreational opportunities and resource uses.
