Narcisse Snake Dens Experience
STATUS: ACTIVE
Witness one of the most unique wildlife experiences in North America at the Narcisse Snake Dens, located about an hour north of Winnipeg.
Every spring, tens of thousands of red-sided garter snakes emerge from their underground limestone dens, creating a rare and fascinating natural phenomenon that draws visitors from around the world.

Mating Season (Best Time to Visit)
The snake mating season typically occurs in early to mid-May, with peak activity expected approximately May 3–16, 2026 (weather dependent).
During this time, visitors can witness the famous “mating balls,” where multiple male snakes gather around a single female—an unforgettable and completely safe experience.

What to Expect & Visitor Tips
Well-maintained walking trails and boardwalks make it easy to explore the area while protecting the snakes and their habitat. Educational signage throughout the site explains the science behind this phenomenon, making it a great outing for families, students, and nature lovers.

Admission: Free
Best time of day: Late morning to early afternoon (11 AM – 3 PM)
Wear: Comfortable shoes; trails can be uneven
Stay safe: Stick to designated paths and avoid disturbing wildlife

Whether it’s a first visit or a yearly tradition, the Narcisse Snake Dens offer a one-of-a-kind outdoor adventure and a chance to experience Manitoba’s natural beauty up close.
