Riding Mountain National Park

Riding Mountain National Park

Riding Mountain National Park is located in Manitoba and was established in 1933. Covering an area of 2,969 square kilometers, it is home to wildlife such as wolves, moose, elk, North American bison, and black bears, as well as hundreds of species of birds and countless insects. It has the highest population of black bears in North America.

Situated on a picturesque landscape, the park features stunning prairie scenery and is renowned for its unique wildflowers and diverse vegetation, many of which are not found elsewhere on the Canadian Prairies. The park’s variety of outdoor activities is also a major highlight, with seasonal options catering to all interests. There are 400 kilometers of hiking trails to satisfy hikers. True to its name, the park also offers excellent biking opportunities, with multiple scenic routes of varying lengths. For those with more time, horseback riding or taking a carriage ride allows for a slower, immersive experience of its distinctive charm.

When winter arrives and snow blankets the land, the park transforms into a ski destination that attracts winter sports enthusiasts. Cross-country skiing is especially popular, and snowmobiling offers a thrilling way to explore the vast snowy landscapes. In addition to these outdoor activities, visitors can also enjoy boating, fishing, camping, and diving.
