EXPLORE INNER SEAS

Prairie Sea Kayak Adventures offer a unique experiential and emotive connection with nature, set in the heart of the Interlake. Our tours build appreciation for the diversity of species so often missed when we move more quickly.

PSKA is dedicated to providing paddlers, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned vet, opportunities to enjoy guided kayaking in the company of others in safe settings.  You will be provided kayaking instruction, all the required equipment, nature interpretation, and time to explore as you glide above the water’s surface, allowing you to get close to nature.

On specific days, outlined in the calendar, we provide a variety of special experiences as part of our kayaking tours, including paddling in a variety of settings within Manitoba..  Alongside the paddling experience, some tours offer secondary experiences such as celestial viewings, yoga, historical excursions, and hiking.  These packages provide fun and exciting ways to freely explore the rich spirit of nature.

We cannot protect something we do not love, we cannot love what we do not know, and we cannot know what we do not see. Or hear. Or sense.

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.

We have some special tours coming up! Check out the 2026 calendar.

Some days it isn’t about planning, or luck, or knowledge, or skill. At times it’s just about being outside and waiting for oneself to be surprised as you paddle around the next bend. Today was one of those days when in the quiet, we were treated to some magnificent views. We are fortunate to be able to have these moments. Looking forward to seeing you on the water! ...

If you can find three days in August to join us for the Little Limestone Lake Kayak Tour, it will be something worth cherishing for years to come. LLL, the largest marl lake in the world with its unique color-changing properties, transitioning from a deep blue to a vibrant turquoise as the temperature changes. While the July trip is full, there is still space on the August trip for a few adventurous folks. We overnight at a nearby lodge, share meals together, carouse a little, paddle extensively, and make memories along the way. You can direct message Rob on Instagram or email to prairieseakayak@gmail.com
Previous lake paddling experience required.
