Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" About Riding Mountain National Park

Yesterday I wrote about Qausuittuq National Park, which is a park you may not ever visit unless you are highly experienced, fully self-reliant, and prepared for extreme hazards, unpredictable river crossings, and polar bear encounters as it is in the very far North of Nunavut, but today I'm writing about a National Park your entire family is able to enjoy together and where they will make incredible memories for sure - Riding Mountain National Park!

  • Riding Mountain National Park is in Manitoba and covers 2,969 square kilometers.
  • It is famous for the three distinct ecosystems - grasslands, boreal forest, and eastern deciduous forest which make Riding Mountain National Park.
  • The diverse habitats mean excellent wildlife viewing. You can spot black bears, elk, moose, beavers, and wolves.
  • Riding Mountain is home to a staggering diversity of living things - windswept grasslands, forests, orchids and lilies, lakes and wetlands all combine to make a place you and your family will love!
