Paddle & Explore Day at St. Malo is a vibrant, family-friendly event hosted by the Girl Guides of Manitoba and Nunavut, inviting locals and tourists alike to experience the beauty of southern Manitoba through guided outdoor adventure.

Set against the calm backdrop of St. Malo Lake, this day-long event offers a welcoming space for people of all ages to try canoeing and kayaking, join interpretive nature walks, and explore shoreline discovery stations—all led by Girl Guide volunteers trained in outdoor leadership. Whether you’re new to paddling or already love the outdoors, you’ll find plenty to enjoy: hands-on learning, friendly guidance, and a community atmosphere that celebrates confidence, connection, and care for the land.

Bring your curiosity, pack a picnic, and enjoy a day on the water—this is a perfect day trip for families, couples, or solo explorers looking to reconnect with nature and enjoy an authentically local experience just an hour south of Winnipeg.
