A summer hiking route might become a ski or snowmobile trail. Pay attention to signs at trailheads to know what activities are allowed.\nDo Not Walk On Groomed Ski Tracks: Walking or snowshoeing on ski tracks can damage the trail and create hazards for skiers. On multi-use trails\, stick to the designated walking side to keep the tracks intact.\nYield to Others: Skiers and snowmobilers typically move faster. Step aside if you hear “track!” to let them pass safely.\nKeep Dogs Leashed: Leashing your dog ensures they don’t disturb wildlife or other trail users.\nPack Out Trash: Carry out anything you bring including food scraps. Even biodegradable items can linger.\n\n\n[spacer height=”40px” id=”3″]\nUpcoming Events\n \n \n \n \n \n \n 31\n July\n 2027\n \n \n \n \n 2026 Icelandic Festival of Manitoba**Step into the Heart of New Iceland** \nEvery August long weekend\, Gimli hosts *Íslendingadagurinn*—a free festival packed with Viking battle re-enactments\, live music\, traditional Icelandic food\, a massive parade\, and harbour fireworks.
