General presentation
Parc national du Mont-Riding
Woodland plateau overlooking the Prairies, covered with lakes, trails and areas frequented by black bison and bears.
Riding Mountain National Park, Clear Lake and Wasagaming provide the most telling landmarks of Riding Mountain National Park. Together, they form a destination where forests, shores and lakes and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature park
Parc national du Mont-Riding
Riding Mountain is a steeply raised forest, lake, and prairie area above Manitoba's plains. Following roads and trails, you pass from Clear Lake beaches to the Bison and Black Bear territories in the same stay.
Nature and landscape
Clear Lake
Clear Lake is the aquatic heart of the Riding Mountain Park, bordered by the village of Wasagaming and long wooded shores. There are alternate swimming, kayaking, cruise and sunrise walks without leaving the main services of the park.
Place indismissible
Wasagaming
Wasagaming is the warm village set up by Clear Lake, with its wooden houses, beach and small seasonal shops. It allows you to enjoy the park without giving up services and becomes particularly pleasant when the sun descends on the lake.
Lake
Lake Audy Bison Enclosure
The Audy Lake enclosure allows to observe a herd of plains bison in a vast landscape of meadows and groves. The road crosses their territory at a respectful distance and offers a rare encounter with the iconic animal of the Prairies.
