Healing Waters of Little Manitou Lake

The Resort Village of Manitou Beach typically hosts about 125,000 visitors per year and that number is growing. People come from all over the world to enjoy the 'Healing Waters' that this unique lake has to offer.





The super-buoyant waters of Little Manitou Lake hold swimmers in perfect suspension so that they experience the amazing sensation of weightlessness. Not only is this very beneficial for easing away aches and pains from muscles and joints, the minerals held in suspension also have been said to benefit those who suffer from arthritis and various skin problems. Many people actually harvest the minerals and oils to use them as the medicinal ingredients in a variety of salves, soaps, bath salts and mud-packs.
