If you're looking to get outside in February and miss spending time at Provincial Parks in Manitoba, you're in luck.
The Manitoba Government has announced that there will be no cost to enjoy our wonderful provincial parks next month.
Environment and Climate Change Minister Mike Moyes said this.
“Manitoba’s provincial parks offer an incredible variety of trails and activities for Manitobans of all ages,” said Moyes. “I am pleased to announce we are waiving the entry fee to all provincial parks for February to make it more affordable for Manitoba families to get outdoors and enjoy all our beautiful provincial parks have to offer.”
Manitoba Winter Trails Day is making its debut on Saturday, February 8, and will take place each second Saturday throughout the month.
"This exciting day is all about celebrating Manitoba’s stunning winter trails, the incredible teams who maintain them, and the pure joy of embracing the season with outdoor adventures alongside family and friends," said Moyes.
Guided tours will be offered on February 8 and 22 at the following provincial parks.
- Birds Hill: Strap on your snowshoes and set out on the Nimowin Trail, where you’ll track down animal prints, uncover signs of wildlife, and learn how creatures adapt to the cold season.
- Spruce Woods: Take a guided hike along the Epinette Trail and discover the park’s fascinating landscape and unique bond with the spruce forest.
In addition to that exciting news, you can now apply for a seasonal camping spot and are asked to apply before February 7.
