Hnausa Beach Provincial Park is a provincial park in Manitoba, Canada, on the west shore of Lake Winnipeg north of Gimli, Manitoba.[1] The beach within the park is named after the nearby community of Hnausa.[1] Hnausa is an Old Icelandic word for a piece of turf.[2] This part of Manitoba is known as New Iceland due to the significant Icelandic settlement of the area that began in 1875.[3]
In the first quarter of the twentieth century, railway companies became involved in the promotion of travel by rail to the beaches of Lake Winnipeg.[4] The railway reached Riverton in 1914, opening the area around Hnausa to day travel from Winnipeg.[3]
The Rural Municipality of Bifrost purchased the land on which the current park stands to be a community park in 1930.[3] The Hnausa portion of the Manitoba Icelandic festival was held at the park before Gimli became the sole location of the festival activities.[5][3] Ownership of the land was passed to the province in 1959 and it was declared a provincial park in 1961.[3] It is Шаблон:Convert in size.[6]
The park is located within the Gimli ecodistrict of the Interlake Plain ecoregion part of the Boreal Plains ecozone.[7]
