Winter Trail Etiquette
Many of Manitoba’s winter trails are multi-use, which means everyone can enjoy the outdoors if we follow a few simple rules:

Respect Trail Designations: Trails often change in the winter. A summer hiking route might become a ski or snowmobile trail. Pay attention to signs at trailheads to know what activities are allowed.
Do 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.
Yield to Others: Skiers and snowmobilers typically move faster. Step aside if you hear “track!” to let them pass safely.
Keep Dogs Leashed: Leashing your dog ensures they don’t disturb wildlife or other trail users.
Pack Out Trash: Carry out anything you bring including food scraps. Even biodegradable items can linger.

Free Entry to Manitoba Parks for 1 Year Starting April 1, 2025
2026-01-08 - 2026-04-30 | Multiple Locations
Free Entry to Manitoba Parks for a Year Starting April 1, 2025Share This Story
Free Entry ito Manitoba Parks for a Year – Here’s What You Need to Know!
If you love the great outdoors but hate the extra cost of getting out there, I’ve got some amazing news! Starting April 1, 2025, there will be free entry into Manitoba Parks for an entire year. Yup, no more park pass fees through March 31, 2026. This little gem of an announcement is expected to be part of the upcoming Manitoba budget, and honestly, it’s a huge win for anyone who enjoys nature but doesn’t want to spend extra just to access it.
Why This Is a Big Deal
For a lot of us, park entry fees aren’t a dealbreaker, but they do add up—especially for families, students, and anyone trying to cut back on expenses. Normally, a vehicle permit for provincial parks in Manitoba costs $9.50 for a day, $16.50 for three days, or $44 for an annual pass. If you visit parks often, those fees can really stack up. So having a full year of free entry ito Manitoba Parks? That’s a big relief for the wallet.

What This Means for You
Whether you’re a casual hiker, a weekend camper, or someone who just loves a peaceful lake view, this change makes getting outdoors a whole lot easier. Here’s what you can expect:

No more vehicle permits – Just drive in and enjoy.
More opportunities to explore – Try out new parks you might have skipped before!
Perfect timing for summer adventures – Hit up places like Birds Hill, Whiteshell, Spruce Woods, or Riding Mountain (okay, that last one is a national park, but still worth a visit).
Great for budget-friendly outings – Pack a picnic, bring some friends, and make a day of it without spending a dime.

What’s Still Not Free?
While free entry to Manitoba Parks is happening, other costs like camping, cabin rentals, firewood, and park services (think fishing licenses, boat rentals, or guided tours) will still apply. So, if you’re planning an overnight trip, you’ll still need to budget for accommodations. But hey, if you’re just heading out for a hike or a beach day, you’re good to go without spending a cent!

Why Is This Happening?
From what I can gather, this move is part of a broader effort to make nature more accessible to everyone. It could be a way to boost tourism, encourage outdoor activity, and give people an easy, low-cost way to enjoy Manitoba’s natural beauty. Whatever the reason, I’m not complaining!
Spread the Word
If you know someone who loves the outdoors (or just loves free stuff), share this with them! Let’s make sure everyone takes advantage of this rare opportunity to enjoy free entry to Manitoba Parks.
Are you excited about this? Have a favorite Manitoba park you’ll be visiting more often? Drop a comment and let me know!
