Riding Mountain National Park

Covering three different ecosystems—grasslands, upland boreal and eastern deciduous forests—Riding Mountain offers diverse terrain to explore and a variety of wildlife to discover. Riding Mountain National Park is also only one of five Canadian national parks that has a resort town.

Hike, swim, camp and spend time in the natural beauty of Riding Mountain National Park

This year-round hotspot is known for all things that make exploring the outdoors great. Here, you can hike, boat, view wildlife, camp, skate, cross-country ski and kayak to your heart’s content.

Summer offers unforgettable days spent on the crystal-clear waters of Clear Lake and Deep Bay; while autumn’s brilliant foliage will captivate you as it paints the escarpment in hues of orange, red and yellow. In the winter, the park becomes a snowy wonderland where you can stay in a four-season oTENTik or take part in a winter festival.
