We will be back. Most of it is lovely, treed and well marked. Just not a fan of the stretch closer to IKEA especially on a cold windy day. A portion of the trail was closed when we went, but nice trail only a few bumps and a nice hill at the start. A great place to bike, jog, walk or hike. Nice, easy trail for an afternoon walk! The bison were lively which added to the experience!

Great easy trail! You will see everything from birds, bison, treehouses, old railroads, and tipis. Wonderful trail. Lots of animals to see and other cool things to watch for. Muddy and wet in some spots but not bad. One of my favourite hikes for sure. Lovely leisurely walk on AUG 9th. Great weather and well maintained area. Cyclists were courteous too!

Still early in the season so the trail is snowy and muddy, but still enjoyable. This trail is actually a combination of several shorter trails, so you can choose how much you want to walk.

Everything is very well maintained. Use Navigator in the AllTrails app and join the other outdoor explorers who have completed this trail. Lake Devonian and Fort Whyte Loop easy Length 9.

June 16, No dogs allowed and cost money! Rose Park. Flights of the flocks!!! My friend and I luckily selected the most perfect late afternoon to go to watch the incoming geese for their nightly stay on the water!

Stunning sunset, 's of honking geese and gulls dotting the sky and horizon like black confetti- truly a marvel to witness Great staff are out on the deck taking in the experience with everyone, providing fantastic information about the migration process.

Smokies on the grill, cold beer, bonfire to toast your marshmallows and bannock - great evening!! Take this in- its a Canadian wonder!! Tannass Winnipeg, Canada 12 contributions. Great place to see buffalo and for nature lovers. There are great paths for walking and cycle paths through natural settings, You can usually see the buffalo from fairly close distance and there are many types of birds and small animals in the area as well.

There is an old thatched roof house that has all the old furniture and implements that the settlers used when they arrived on the prairies as well as some teepees further down the path. There are some tours and interpreters that can be arranged I think for some of the spaces.

There are many various activity days and nights that individuals or groups can sign up for to let you experience activities and living in the outdoors. The cafe is known for the fantastic and interesting food they serve with gorgeous views. The gift shop has many unique and beautiful gifts.

The educational centre is informative and popular with families as well as school groups. I have camped with groups in the cabins and the set up was really nice and can also be booked by families. The lakes are a bit murky for swimming but still refreshing and passable for swimming. Good for canoeing on. A visit to the Fort Whyte farm is definitely an added bonus, with chickens, pigs, bee hives, rabbits and gardens to see and learn about small, sustainable, organic farming methods. They also have a small farmer's market on certain days of the week in season.

Read all replies. Et y t il des bus? Winnipeg Transit peut donner des trajets, sur le web, avec Navigo. Bonne chance et bonne visite. Kristy B. Is there an entrance fee or anything? Can you just go on a hike down the trails on your own? Joesph M. You can take a bus as far as Kenaston and McGillivray, but then you would have to walk minutes to get to Fort Whyte.
