    Clear Lake Country

    Explore in and around Riding Mountain National Park.

    Know Before You Go


    Before heading out on your Riding Mountain adventure, please be aware that Parks Canada has prohibited the use of motorized boats as well as canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards on Clear Lake this summer. These measures are to facilitate detection of zebra mussels and decrease the risk of spread, to better ensure the future health of the lake. Swimming is still permitted, along with fishing from shore or wharfs, the use of beach toys and personal flotation devices.

    Riding Mountain National Park is a captivating blend of boreal and deciduous forest, vast grassland meadows, and enchanting marshy wetlands. With the rising elevation of the Manitoba Escarpment, this park offers a myriad of outdoor adventures, especially during the summer months.

    Explore the network of hiking and biking trails that wind through the diverse landscape, providing opportunities to immerse yourself in nature's beauty. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife sightings along the way - from majestic moose and graceful elk to elusive bears and wolves. Birdwatchers will also delight in spotting numerous bird species soaring through the skies.
