The Bannock Point Petroforms are located in Whiteshell Provincial Park located on #307 Road in Manitoba. Bannock Point features Petroforms which are stones laid out on the bedrock in the shapes of Turtles, Snakes, geometric forms and a Thunderbird. They are thought to have been made centuries ago by First Nations people for their value in teaching and healing ceremonies and are still considered sacred to this day.
To get there, you turn North from the #1 Trans Canada Highway onto #11 Road going into Hadashville. Keep going North through the town of Elma. You come to an intersection where you can either turn East onto #44 Road. Go along #44 Road until you get to #307 and turn North. Drive by Brereton Lake, Red Rock Lake, Betula Lake and after roughly 3 to 4 Km, you will come to the Petroform Site. If you get to Heart Lake, you have gone too far.
