EXPLORE INNER SEAS
PSKA is dedicated to providing opportunities to enjoy guided kayaking in a safe setting, namely Willow Creek (3 miles south of Gimli, Manitoba) which flows into Lake Winnipeg. You will be provided a two hour guided tour of the creek where you can glide above the water’s surface, allowing you to get close to nature.
On specific days, outlined in the calendar, we provide special experiences as part of our kayaking tours (examples are yoga, birding, photography, celestial viewings, and other special events). These packages provide fun and exciting ways to freely explore the Creek and Lake.

About the Area
Willow Creek is the terminus for a 1200 square kilometer watershed as it flows into Lake Winnipeg.
Wetlands have often been described as the kidneys of the landscape because of the role they play in water and chemical cycles. Wetlands filter out sediment and pollution from the surrounding environment so that the water they discharge is cleaner that which entered the wetland. In this manner, wetlands act as both a sink and source, storing and passing on vital resources to their local environment.
The Willow Creek is home to the tall grass and prairie marsh ecosystem that supports a wide variety of amphibians, birds, invertebrates, mammals, reptiles, and fish. Over a hundred species of plants adorn the Creek as well.
