There is nothing more exciting than a Canadian adventure to a place where you have no previous experience. And, when that adventure combines thrill, opportunities to share with others, and new photography and video of wild nature in Manitoba, then I am “all over it”. Such an opportunity became possible recently as part of a [...]

At least once each summer I’m compelled to visit Lake Winnipeg. One of the largest freshwater lakes in the whole entire world, this body of water is truly something special. It is as majestic as it is massive, and as mysterious as magnificent. It is also very near and dear to me personally. Back in 2001, I [...]

I’ve been writing this blog since January and if you’ve been following the stories, you’ll know that my passion is being active in the great outdoors. I’ve tried to introduce you to all kinds of interesting corners of Manitoba where you can hike, ski, cycle, whatever. I’m happy to tell you that Travel Manitoba has [...]

HI, I am Steven Wintemute, your Travel Manitoba Fishing Ambassador! I am also the publisher of Hooked magazine and as the publisher I  get the chance to fish some great waters in Manitoba (sometimes as much as 3 days a week all year round). To have the chance to fly up and or drive to [...]

Visiting the South Interlake Golf & Country Club in Warren was like a trip back in time for me. Even though I’ve called Winnipeg home for the past three decades, I was a proud ‘country girl’ until the age of ten.  My family lived in Marquette, a town so small it’s a wonder it’s even on the map. All [...]

Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of trekking to wonderful destinations all over Manitoba with a group of walkers called the Prairie Pathfinders. Usually these sojourns focus on hiking: many, many kilometres of hiking. It figures then, that just when you think you know the formula, the co-founders of the Prairie Pathfinders mix it [...]

Take a drive through Pinawa and you’ll know you’re someplace special. The first obvious difference from other towns is a recreational setting and spectacular view for all to enjoy. Because there are no houses built on land adjacent to the Winnipeg River, the waterfront consists of easily accessible wooded parkland, walking trails, boat racks and [...]

Three days ago, I boarded a charter aircraft with 33 guests and complete intentions to blog and share each moment with you as we went along.  Armed with  my favourite camera, laptop and rumours of cell service finally arriving in Churchill (it turned out to be true!) it only took about 3 minutes after touching down [...]

What can you say when the day starts out with a 10 cm deep “bird-watching hike” in the snow with your runners on? Immediately, a pileated woodpecker flew overhead, followed by five beautifully honking tundra swans, and two loons. Our guide Cal Cuthbert, one of Manitoba’s most proficient birders, brought his passion for birds and [...]

I am sure that the Elkhorn Resort will benefit from their investments into these new products and experiences - travelers from around the world are looking for something different, not just more of the same.
