SASKATCHEWAN 0 80 miles 0 129 kilometres NUNAVUT Churchill Hudson Bay Reindeer Lake MANITOBA Thompson Flin Flon ONTARIO The Pas Norway House Ukranian dancing Winnipeg Lake Winnipegosis Lake Winnipeg The largest city in Manitoba and known affectionately as ‘The Peg’, Winnipeg may have begun as a fur-trade centre but is now a vibrant and cosmopolitan city in the heart of Canada’s prairies. Set at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, its attractions include the Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature, Winnipeg Art Gallery, the Exchange District with its examples of early 20th century architecture and the historic districts of The Forks and Lower Fort Garry. The city is very multi-cultural and has large Ukrainian, Chinese and Italian communities, resulting in a very diverse and interesting cultural blend. There is no shortage of entertainment options with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Manitoba Opera, Royal Winnipeg Ballet as well as a variety of summer festivals. No visit is complete without a trip along the Red River to Lake Winnipeg, where you’ll find some of Manitoba’s finest sandy beaches.

It includes a restored prairie marsh, aspen-oak bluff, waterfowl lure crops, artesian springs, 30 kilometres of trails, and some of Manitoba’s last remaining expanses of the highly endangered tall-grass prairie. Each season at the marsh offers unique opportunities: it is home to 25 species of mammal, 296 species of bird, numerous amphibians, reptiles, fish and countless invertebrates. The number of waterfowl using the marsh during migration can exceed 400,000 at any one time: for these reasons Oak Hammock Marsh has been designated as a Ramsar Site, a wetland of international importance.

Forming part of the Manitoba Escarpment, this ‘island’ reserve is best known for its black bear sightings but also protects a wide variety of wildlife and vegetation areas. The eastern perimeter is formed by a high ridge studded with dense evergreen forests of spruce, pine, balsam fir and tamarack and is the best place to spot black bears. This gives way to a highland plateau of mixed forests and lakes while elsewhere open meadows and grasslands provide perfect habitats for moose, elk and a herd of plains bison. This vast expanse of wilderness is approximately 50 kilometres long by 100 wide and has some of Manitoba’s most beautiful scenery as well as its finest walking and biking trails. Riding Mountain Guest Ranch Chuck-wagon racing RIDING MOUNTAIN GUEST RANCH Riding Mountain Guest Ranch is the charming lakeside three-storey farmhouse of the Irwin family, located in the rolling aspen woodlands just south of the national park. Guests enjoy a relaxed friendly atmosphere in a beautiful natural setting, with four comfortable bedrooms and scrumptious meals prepared by Candy – an excellent cook. The ranch house has a delightful veranda and sunroom overlooking the secluded lake, a hot tub, winter sauna, billiards room and a natural history library. Outside there are wildlife viewing blinds, canoes, kayaks, and walking trails. WALKINSHAW PLACE, NEAR BOISSEVAIN Just next to Turtle Mountain Provincial Park in southwest Manitoba, Walkinshaw Place is a beautifully restored Victorian farmhouse that offers bed and breakfast accommodation. With just four en suite guest rooms, it is an intimate property where guests are well cared for by hosts, Peter and Linda Albrecht. A sumptuous breakfast buffet, served in the dining room amongst antique furnishings and local art works, consists of seasonal fruits and juices, muffins, scones, breads, cereals, and yogurts.
