Fort Whyte Alive

Head to FortWhyte Alive for the ultimate urban birding adventure. Set within Winnipeg city limits, this reclaimed wild oasis is particularly good for migrating waterfowl with 27 species recorded and annually hosts thousands of migrating Canada Geese. Stroll self-guided trails that lead through replicas of seven Manitoba wetland habitats, while floating boardwalks make for easy viewing on the marshes. Keep watch for wild bison grazing nearby. Rejuvenate with a meal at the Buffalo Stone Café and pick up a gift at The Nature Shop.
