Manitoba announced that between July 11 and 17, 2022, entry to provincial parks will be free.
Although vehicle permits won’t be required, overnight camping fees will still apply.
“This week-long free access, which coincides with Canada’s Parks Day on Saturday, July 16, is designed to ensure all Manitobans can enjoy the extraordinary natural beauty of our provincial parks even more affordably,” said Environment, Climate and Parks Minister Jeff Wharton. “From hiking and birdwatching in lush boreal forests to exploring intriguing historic sites that showcase our province’s cultural heritage to paddling a pristine, tranquil lake, Manitoba’s provincial parks have something for everyone.”
Flooding and wet conditions continue to be an issue at some provincial parks, visitors should check the Manitoba Parks website before venturing out for the latest flood-related closures and advisories.
