Four-Season Canadian Shield Playground

Manitoba’s Eastern region is where you’ll find some of the province’s most popular parks. On one side of the region is Whiteshell Provincial Park, which offers year-round access to beautiful lakes and forests. This park is also home to the sacred Bannock Point Petroforms, an important site for Indigenous teaching and ceremony. On the other side of the region is Grand Beach Provincial Park and its three kilometres of soft white sand.

Visit the Eastern Manitoba Tourism Association for more information on local activities and events.
