RIDING MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK

 

"Situated amidst a sea of agricultural land, Riding Mountain rises dramatically from the prairie landscape. Forming part of the Manitoba Escarpment, this 'island' preserve protects a wide variety of wildlife and vegetation areas. The park has numerous hiking trails, and Agassiz Tower overlooks a panoramic view of prairies stretching out to the north. Wasagaming, the park's townsite, offers a full range of visitor services including accommodation, restaurants and shopping."
