Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba

Riding Mountain is unique in the way that it's 1 of only 5 national parks that has a resort townsite. Although small in size, the picturesque town of Wasagaming is big in charm and character. Located along the shores of Clear Lake, Wasagaming, which bustles on busy summer days, is home to a variety of shops, restaurants, beach, golf course, boat rentals and tours to name a few. The original Parks Canada Visitor Centre remains, built in the Rustic Design tradition of the 1930's, reminding us of the early days of Canada's national parks system.

Wildlife is abundant in Riding Mountain, and by simply driving through the park you are likely to spot a variety of species. Black bear, elk, moose, and lynx all call the park home, as well as approximately 30 plains bison that live in an enclosure by Lake Audy.

An extensive trail system offers scenic routes for hiking, biking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and birding.

Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation or inspiration, Riding Mountain has something to offer everyone. One visit and you'll quickly realize why it's considered the jewel of the province. Start planning your visit today!
