Manitoba is located in the heart of Canada. This geographic position has blessed the province with varied and impressive landscapes. Shaped by retreating glaciers and ancient lakes, Manitoba boasts golden prairies, rolling hills, boreal forests and coastal tundra. Whether it's a family camping trip or a backcountry paddling expedition, Manitoba caters to adventurers of all stripes. Novice campers will find loads of lakeside resorts and glamping options. More hard core wilderness enthusiasts will find untouched settings ready to be discovered (be advised – many areas do not have cell service, so all adventurers are advised to take precaution while planning and executing their trips!). The blue water that beckons boaters during the warmer months transform into snow covered terrain for snowmobilers, cross country skiers and ice fishing buffs. Our changing landscapes provide challenges for hikers and bikers, while downhill skiers and snowboarders rejoice at our accessible elevation changes. After you've enjoyed a specular sunset, turn your gaze towards the night sky. Away from light pollution, enjoy dazzling stars and – if the conditions are right – an incredible display of northern lights.
