Arbakka is an unincorporated community in the Rural Municipality of Stuartburn, [1] in the southeast corner of Manitoba, Canada, south of Vita [2] near the border with the United States. This region is sparsely populated, and its major exports are farmed goods and hogs.[ citation needed ]

There was a short-lived Icelandic settlement in Arbakka. [3]

In 2012, Arbakka was listed as one of the "endemic or suspected areas for established black legged tick (BLT) populations", with other areas in southern Manitoba under investigation; [2] the tick is the primary vector of three diseases: Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis and Babesiosis. [4]
