Lake Minnewasta sits near Morden, Manitoba, formed by the damming of Dead Horse Creek and stretching roughly 0. 5 km wide by 3 km long.

The lake supports a wide range of water-based recreation, including boating, fishing, sailing, paddling, and water skiing in summer, with ice fishing available in winter. The boat launch at Lake Minnewasta provides access to the full lake.

Control gates open at 6:00 am and close at 11:00 pm, though they may be closed at the discretion of lake management. Anglers launching by boat will find the lake well regarded for trophy black crappie, along with northern pike and white sucker.

Manitoba fishing regulations require all walleye shorter than 35 cm to be released, and a valid provincial angling licence is required year-round.
