Manitobans Can Explore Manitoba Parks For Free Until 2026
The Manitoba Government has announced that Manitobans can visit any of the Manitoba Parks locations for free until March 31st, 2026!
“In Budget 2025, our government announced free entry to all of our incredible provincial parks for the next year. As Canadians explore closer to home, we hope everyone will get out and enjoy our beautiful parks and take in all they have to offer. Whether you love to hike, canoe or just want to relax surrounded by nature, we encourage all Manitobans to visit our provincial parks, as no vehicle permit is required.”
Budget 2025 includes an $18-million increase for infrastructure improvements at a number of provincial parks, the minister noted. Projects include new washroom and shower buildings at St. Malo and West Hawk Lake’s seasonal campground. This funding will also support campground improvements and the addition of electrical sites at Spruce Woods, Grand Beach and Hecla/Grindstone provincial parks.
For the 2025 season, visitors to Whiteshell Provincial Park’s West Hawk Lake will see a restored Crescent Beach seawall, which will include an accessible ramp and beach access mat. New playgrounds will open at several provincial parks including in the Whiteshell, Clearwater Lake, Winnipeg Beach and Turtle Mountain.
While park vehicle passes will not be required for the 2025 season, camping reservation fees continue to apply.
