On a positive note, at least NO ONE has tried to claim the "Oasis" (locals will know what I'm talking about), nor the Birds Hill Park "lake" as a positive outdoor feature in Manitoba. There's hope for you folks yet!
True about NW Ontario...One of my good friends has a cottage around Blue Lake, and we go fishing there often. However, northern MB (north of Grand Rapids at least) is excellent as well...same with Sask. Incredibly beautiful as well - and Lake Winnipeg is actually clear up there.

I actually like Birds Hill Park - but would agree about the lake, you'd have to be on glue to go there when there's so many other opportunities.

Then again, locals also ski at "Spring Hill" (with a vertical drop of 33m) ;-)
