  • Riding Mountain National Park

    A Stand Alone Experience

    Mix it up in Riding Mountain National Park where three ecological zones overlap. Delight in a medley of bird species not usually found together. Pick your favorites from this beautiful and diverse area where over 260 species of birds have been spotted.

    Walk the Moon Lake trail for a good chance of spotting moose browsing along the marshy edges. Black bears are plentiful in Riding Mountain as are elk. Listen for the eerie high-pitched bugling of the elk during the fall mating season. Gawk a massive bison at Lake Audy and imagine the thundering herds of the 1800s.

    Riding Mountatin’s 400 km network of day-use and overnight trails can be explored by foot, bike or even on horseback. Explore on your own or hire one of several outfitters that offer packages.
