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 26\n June\n 2026\n \n \n \n \n Downtown Winnipeg Night Market FIFA World Cup 2026 CelebrationCatch the Downtown Winnipeg Night Market FIFA World Cup 2026 Celebration on June 26–27 at True North Square\, featuring a free watch party\, global street food\, live music\, and cultural entertainment.
