On the west shore of Lake Winnipeg, an hours drive from the city of Winnipeg, Icelandic immigrants settled Gimli in 1895. Its Historical Museum highlights fishing and farming, the two most important occupations of the immigrants. Today, a picturesque harbor has room for 300 boats and the town has themed its commercial district with a fishing village motif. Tourists come to Gimli to swim, sunbath, and sail, go boating, sail boarding and fishing.
