Mobile ticket
Leave the city behind to explore the monumental forces that shaped Manitoba. Crossing the colossal Red River Floodway, see the massive project built to defend Winnipeg from historic floods. Travel across the flat plain—an ancient glacial lakebed—and stop at a local cafe before transitioning into the rugged Boreal Shield.
At the Winnipeg River, discover the immense human effort used to harness rushing water. Visit beautiful Whitemouth Falls and stand in awe of Seven Sisters Generating Station, where wilderness meets industrial might. Nearby, visit the idyllic forest town of Pinawa, cross a spectacular suspension bridge, explore the concrete ruins of an old dam, and learn about the region’s unique nuclear history.
Balanced with light hikes along the iconic Trans Canada Trail, a relaxing local lunch, and views of ancient rock formations, this day trip offers a profound connection to the landscape.
