WELCOME TO
MANITOBA PARKS.
Whether you’re looking for adventure or a place for quiet reflection,
Manitoba parks have something for you.
I am honoured to serve as your Minister of Sustainable Development, which allows
me the great privilege of stewarding Manitoba’s beautiful network of provincial parks.
These parks are truly the gateway to some our province’s most breathtaking experiences
and I am thrilled to work for Manitobans in such an exciting and important department.
Throughout each of the four seasons, Manitoba parks offer an endless array of activities
for families, friends and individuals. Whether you want to kick back and relax or have an
adventure, our province proudly offers hundreds of destinations for camping, hiking,
fishing and sightseeing. From hiking in Whiteshell Provincial Park to angling in our lakes
or visiting one of our many beaches, there is nothing like enjoying Manitoba’s diverse
and wondrous experiences. If you’re looking to get away, you could rent a cozy cabin
or check out the latest trend in camping accommodation – a yurt, which is part cabin,
part tent and 100 per cent comfortable. If you want to try out this fun form of escapism,
yurts are currently offered in eight Manitoba provincial parks.
Our parks are an essential part of the Manitoba way-of-life. It’s an experience I know well,
as my husband, three sons and I have made many memories together in Manitoba’s great
outdoors. We have spent many days enjoying outdoor activities, taking in the stunning
scenery and visiting with close friends at the lake. Strong connections of family and
friends are made in Manitoba’s parks.
There really are so many great opportunities, many of which are detailed in this guide
to help you enjoy our Manitoba parks year round. So I encourage you to take in the
Winnipeg Folk Fest at Birds Hill, visit the waterfalls at Pisew Falls Provincial Park
or walk the dunes at Spruce Woods Provincial Park!
Sincerely,
Cathy Cox
Minister of Sustainable Development

WHAT’S NEW
Provincial parks play an important role in the lives
of Manitobans. Parks contribute to the conservation
of our natural lands and cultural heritage, offer
excellent camping, cottaging and other outdoor
recreation opportunities.
New and Improved Facilities
New Washroom-Shower buildings will be available for campers
at Betula Lake, Moose Lake and St. Malo – Sunset Shores
campground in 2016.
Seasonal campsites at Blue Lakes campground in the Duck
Mountains have received an upgrade to electrical service.
Additional modifications were made to the campground
layout to improve the flow.
Three new yurts have been added at Camper’s Cove in
Clearwater Lake Provincial Park and one more at Kiche Manitou
in Spruce Woods Provincial Park. Part tent, part cabin, yurts are
a great way to have a comfortable stay in a provincial park.
Pembina Valley Provincial Park New and Expanded Parks

Two new provincial parks were created along the shores of Lake
Winnipeg in 2015. They were designated to protect important
spawning grounds for fish, moose habitat, forests of trembling
aspen, white spruce, jack pine, and a diversity of wetlands.
Sturgeon Bay Provincial Park: Along the coast of Sturgeon Bay
on Lake Winnipeg, this park is approximately 4,500 hectares in
size and was designated to protect to protect important
spawning grounds for fish, and moose habitat.
Kinwow Bay Provincial Park: Approximately 8,400 hectares in size
this park includes lands next to Kinwow Bay on Lake Winnipeg.
It protects stands of birch, willow and marshlands next to the
shore, black spruce bogs, stands of tamarack and isolated areas
of treeless muskeg all ideal habitat for moose.
Moose Lake and Pembina Valley Provincial Parks grew in size.
Did you know that Pembina Valley Provincial Park is a birder’s
paradise? If you visit at the right time of year, it provides
Manitoba’s highest density of raptors migration, including
red-tailed hawks and golden eagles.
New Law
Stop Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS). Clean, drain, dry
and dispose.
To help prevent the spread of AIS, such as zebra mussels, the
Manitoba government has passed a law that requires all water
users to take specific steps when moving water-related craft and
equipment from one body of water into another body of water.
Know the law. Violating these regulations may result in fines.
Visit manitoba.ca/StopAIS or call 1-87-STOP-AIS-0

Eastern Region
To many outdoor adventurers the forested and
granite-ridged Canadian Shield is the very heart
of Canada. Manitoba’s Eastern Region offers easily
accessible, but still pristine Shield country. Paddle for
an hour or a week, take a short family stroll or tackle
an epic backcountry trek, cool off in the heat of
summer, warm up your winter, or peer into history
through fascinating ancient rock petroforms.
Campsites, comfortable and roomy yurts, rustic
cabins and luxury lodges give you a base to enjoy
the parks of the Eastern Region.

BEACH SAFETY
Manitoba’s 100,000 sparkling lakes make our province a wonderful place to swim, wade and enjoy
the cool, clean water. Provincial park beaches are now tobacco free zones. Manitoba Parks
encourages you and your groups to keep the following tips in mind to ensure being around the
water is not only fun, but safe as well.
• Watch children at all times and stay within arm’s reach. Never leave them alone in or near water.
• Ensure children are properly supervised by an adult, especially when adults may be distracted by activities such as meal
preparation, equipment set-up or packing. Adult supervision is the best protection for children.
• Swim only in designated swim areas.
• Be aware of your swimming limitations. Don’t try to go beyond your ability.
• Ensure that you and your group know how to swim. It is the best way to stay safe in and around the water.
• Don’t bring inflatables to the beach. Wind can blow them into the water where children tend to follow.
• Always check water depth before diving. Water levels may change from day to day due to changing weather conditions.
• Never swim alone. Always swim with a friend and watch out for each other.
• Weaker swimmers and young children should wear a properly sized life jacket or personal floatation device (PFD).
• Don’t consume alcohol before or while swimming. Alcohol impairs your abilities and judgment.
• Take swimming and water safety lessons. Learn First Aid and CPR skills so you can help yourself and others.
Drowning is Preventable!

BACKCOUNTRY CAMPING
AND CANOEING
Explore the Backcountry by Paddle or Foot
Are you looking for a vigorous backcountry adventure in life’s great outdoors? Backcountry hiking,
canoeing and camping can be an exciting experience in our many provincial parks. Several provincial
parks offer backcountry excursion opportunities including the 60 kilometre Mantario Hiking Trail in
Whiteshell Provincial Park and the 35 kilometre canoe route on the Manigotagan River. In addition to
long, multi-day hiking and canoeing routes, many provincial parks have shorter, one-to-10 kilometre
hiking and self-guiding trails suitable for day hikes.
Here are a few simple tips to make your backcountry paddled by canoeists with a range of skill levels. For these
