Manitou Beach/Watrous
Colonsay
is also just a 30 minute drive from Manitou Beach, near the town of Watrous.
Manitou (meaning God Spirit in Cree) Lake is famed for its healing powers.
Fed by
underground springs, the lake has a high concentration of dissolved salts
and minerals. The added density greatly enhances buoyancy and makes
it impossible for people to sink.
The minerals in the water are therapeutic in a variety of ways. The water,
in combination with heat, relieves pressure from muscles and joints,
cleanses and heals the skin and relieves stress, working in a holistic way
to heal the body. This is why mineral spas are such an important part of
European health care as both preventative medicine and as treatment.
