The Manitoba government has announced that it is opening up entry to all of its provincial parks for free for the entire month of February.
In making the announcement, Environment and Climate Change Minister Tracy Schmidt says they know that affordability is top of mind for many families, adding they hope this will encourage all Manitobans to get outdoors and enjoy everything that their provincial parks have to offer.
Vehicle passes will not be required in any provincial park throughout the month, however, snowmobilers using designated trails will still need Snopasses.
The lifting of entrance fees also does not apply to National parks in the province, such as Riding Mountain.
The government says their provincial parks offer a variety of activities, such as downhill and cross country skiing, snowshoeing and hiking, toboggan hills, and ice fishing shelters.
Manitobans are encouraged to check trail conditions before visiting parks.
You can do so by going online to www.gov.mb.ca/sd/parks.
