Riding Mountain National Park of Canada (Riding Mountain National Park)

Manitoba's first national park achieved this status in 1930. It had previously been set aside as a forest reserve, amid the rapid deforestation of the surrounding area. The area of the Riding Mountains was held in great reverence by Native peoples. The townsite of Wasagaming was developed during the Great Depression by work crews hired through a federal relief program. Several impressive log constructions still exist from this era of the town’s development, giving the town a distinctive, rustic flavour. The park itself covers 3 078 sq. km (1,188 sq. miles), ranging from areas of open meadows to boreal forest, aspen parkland, and deciduous forest, besides the escarpment from which the park received its name. An abundance of wildlife can be found here, including deer, moose, elk, black bear, and beaver. There are also a few Great Gray owls and wolves in the park. A small bison herd is kept at Lake Audy (see below). The park offers unique experiences for families, photographers, birders and wildlife enthusiasts.

Campgrounds can be found throughout the park, and an extensive trail system offers a variety of scenic routes for hiking, cycling, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and birding. Over 400 km (250 miles) of summer trails and 260 km (163 miles) of cross-country ski trails are available.
