With colours like this, you'll wish you took that painting class! Majestic rivers. Arctic coastline. Lakes, forests and desert dunes. An escarpment rises up in the West and miles and miles of trails beckon everywhere.
Day breaks as the sun's rays create delicate blue and pink ribbons that spread over the horizon. A soft breeze blows across a vast prairie sea creating rolling waves of rich natural colour, a palette of golden wheat, lavender flax and yellow canola. On a clear day, the sky fills with more blue than you'll ever see, and at dusk a long saffron sunset of the deepest oranges and purples. A short drive from the Trans-Canada Highway, pincushion cacti dot steep dunes, and rugged gorges slice into an ancient escarpment. Moving north, patchwork fields of crops blend into rolling aspen parkland then transform into boreal forest that surrounds the ancient mantle of the Precambrian shield. Furthest north, trees thin and a liquid maze cuts through the tundra and merges into Hudson Bay.
Two-thirds of Canada's 500-plus species of birds come here, drawn by more than 100,000 lakes and countless rivers and marshes. Manitoba is a premier wildlife-watching destination with among the highest densities of moose, elk and black bear. We also have wolves, fox and beaver. Near Hudson Bay, a marine frontier showcases animals in white - polar bear, beluga whale, arctic fox, ptarmigan and more. Come to Manitoba's diverse landscapes for your next great outdoor adventure.

Manitoba is the easternmost of the three Prairie Provinces. Comparatively level, Manitoba generally ranges from 490-ft./150 m to 980-ft./300 m above sea level. Baldy Mountain is Manitoba's highest point, at 2727 ft./831 m. Agricultural land lies in a triangle, bordering Saskatchewan and the U.S., cutting diagonally across lake Winnipeg. The northern 3/5 of Manitoba is Precambrian Shield. In northernmost Manitoba lies tundra and permafrost (permanently frozen subsoil). All waters in Manitoba flow to Hudson Bay. Before settlement, a large area of southern Manitoba was flood plain or swamp. An extensive system of drainage ditches had to be constructed throughout south central Manitoba to make the region suitable for cultivation.
OUTDOOR RECREATION With warm, fine summers, crisp, brilliant winters, and more year-round sunshine than almost anywhere else in Canada, its no surprise that Manitobans can be found enjoying the outdoors every day of the year. Whether its a leisurely stroll along a beach, a visit to a special park, a round of golf or just relaxing in the sun, fun in Manitoba's fresh air is never too far away... |
