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.
Containing extensive updates and upgrades, the 4th Edition of our Manitoba Backroad Mapbook will help you navigate this unique part of Canada. These include the addition of provincial Crown land areas on the maps, noting fish species for many lakes and the bigger river systems, countless road and trail updates and hundreds of new recreational Points of Interest. The Adventures section has also undergone a thorough review with notable additions to the Backroads, Hunting, Paddling, Snowmobiling and Winter sections, plus new additions to our fish stocking and trail charts.
