Manitoba Backroad Mapbook

Manitoba is home to vast stretches of unspoiled wilderness interspersed with quaint rural communities that serve as a jumping-off point for outdoor recreational pursuits. Located in Canada’s geographic centre, over half the province’s population lives in the capital city of Winnipeg. This leaves the rest of the province-wide open for exploring. To the south, the landscape is a diverse mix of tall grass prairie, pine forest and even desert-like sand dunes. Moving north leads into the majestic rock of the Canadian Shield, and further north still, a strip of Arctic tundra along Hudson Bay, home to the polar bear capital of Canada, the community of Churchill. While Lake Winnipeg garners a huge chunk of real estate, lakes of all sizes and shapes dot this prairie landscape, creating an incredible abundance of fishing opportunities.
