Narcisse Snake Dens 2025
Narcisse Snake Dens Now Active for 2025: Ideal Viewing Conditions This Week
The Narcisse Snake Dens in Manitoba are currently buzzing with activity, and the warm temperatures this week (May 12-14) provide excellent conditions for viewing the red-sided garter snakes at their peak. If you missed the excitement over the May 9-11 weekend, there’s still plenty of action left to experience!
Perfect Conditions for Viewing
With the sun and heat continuing this week, expect high snake activity. The warmer temperatures will ensure that the snakes are out in full force, making this one of the best times to visit the dens.
What to Expect
-
Active Dens: All dens are now fully active, with snake balls and wriggling masses visible throughout the area. The first den may be quieter, but there’s still plenty to see.
-
Snake Behavior: Most snakes remain inside the dens, but you’ll witness incredible mating behavior and large groups of snakes coming together.
-
Peak Viewing: This week, with optimal weather, offers great chances to see the snakes during their most active period.
What You Need to Know
-
Safety: Stick to the marked trails and boardwalks for the best view while keeping a safe distance from the snakes.
-
Timing: The warm weather this week will keep the snakes active, making now the perfect time to visit.
Don’t Miss Out
Even though the weekend has passed, this week remains a prime time for viewing the red-sided garter snakes. Don’t miss your chance to witness this extraordinary natural spectacle! For more details, visit the official Narcisse Snake Dens website for parking, safety, and visitor tips.
Location: Look for the Narcisse Snake Dens sign on Highway #17, 6 kilometres (3.6 miles) north of the town of Narcisse (GPS coordinates of 50o44’07.62” N and 97o31’54.32” W). Turn east at the entrance sign and follow the short road to the parking lot. Here you will find orientation and interpretation signs, washrooms, a picnic area and a 3.0 kilometre (1.8 mile) walking trail. The trail winds through native grassland and aspen forest, and is easy to follow. It’s a good idea to bring refreshments and a lunch as there is no food or beverage service on site.
