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\nUpcoming Events\n \n \n \n \n \n \n 08\n January\n 2026\n \n \n \n \n Free Entry to Manitoba Parks for 1 Year Starting April 1\, 2025Free Entry to Manitoba Parks for a Year Starting April 1\, 2025 Free Entry ito \nFind out more\n \n \n \n Multiple Locations\,\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 17\n April\n 2026\n \n \n \n \n Weekend Round-Up: 10+ Free Events in Winnipeg April 17-19A list of free things to do in Winnipeg during the weekend including activities for the family\, live music\, arts\, movies\, and more. \nFind out more\n \n \n \n Winnipeg\, Manitoba\,\n\n\n Winnipeg\,\n\n Manitoba\n\n\n Canada\n\n\n+ Google Map\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 17\n April\n 2026\n \n \n \n \n Free Admission to Manitoba Sports Hall Of FameDiscover Manitoba’s sports history with free admission to the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame in downtown Winnipeg.
