Free Entry into Manitoba Provincial Parks For February
Looking to make the most of our remaining winter days? Getting out just got a little bit easier - entry into Manitoba Provincial Parks is free for the entire month of February!
Conservation and Water Stewardship Minister Gord Mackintosh announced the break in fees on Saturday, suggesting that winter visits give Manitobans "a chance to see our province in a whole new way." Whether hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, or just going for a wander, winter is a great opportunity to get a different perspective on parks you may already know and love - or check out somewhere totally new!
Trail condition reports are updated every Thursday and can be found on the conservation website.
