Alonsa is a community located in north central Manitoba in the Rural Municipality of Alonsa.
Alonsa grew in the early 1900s with the coming of the railroad. The rail line was never extended beyond Alonsa and in 1961, the rail service ended. With the loss of the rail service, the population began to drop. The area is accessible now by Provincial Trunk Highway 50.
Lake Manitoba is one of the largest attractions near Alonsa. The community attracts tourists headed to the lake for fishing or swimming.
The Alex Robertson Museum in Alonsa has a large collection of antique firearms and pioneer artifacts which is open to the public on Sundays.
