The Forks is the heart of Winnipeg. Frequented by Indigenous peoples thousands of years ago, it is now home to a pleasant park on the banks of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, and a lively market hall with shops and restaurants.

From this quiet bend in the trail, the Red River flows steadily past, lined with trees and the urban skyline. It’s a peaceful place to pause and take in the contrast between nature and city before continuing along the path.

Lagimodière-Gaboury Heritage Park sits on land that was initially granted to Jean-Baptiste Lagimodière and his wife, Marie-Anne Gaboury, pioneering settlers whose family would include Métis leader Louis Riel. The park is part of a riverside greenway along the Seine and Red Rivers, with natural trails, interpretive signage, and peaceful viewpoints over the water. It celebrates early Francophone and Métis heritage, marking the site of St. Boniface’s first settlement and its foundational role in Manitoba history.

Fort Gibraltar is a replica of the 1809 North West Company trading post that once stood near the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers. Rebuilt in 1978 by the Festival du Voyageur, it serves as an interpretive site that illustrates Métis culture and the fur trade era. Today, the fort hosts educational programs and cultural events and plays a central role in the annual Festival du Voyageur.

The Red River flows north from the United States into Manitoba, winding through Winnipeg before emptying into Lake Winnipeg. Its slow, meandering course has long shaped the region’s landscape and history, serving as a vital route for Indigenous peoples, fur traders, and early settlers. Today, its banks are lined with parks, trails, and neighbourhoods that celebrate the river’s enduring role in the heart of the prairie city.

Bunn’s Creek Centennial Park covers over 25 hectares of beautifully landscaped green space with flower gardens, a small playground, picnic sites, and access to the picturesque Bunn’s Creek Trail that runs west through the creek valley. Its riverside setting and quiet natural atmosphere make it a lovely spot for family outings and short walks along the water.

Bunn’s Creek Trail is a fantastic multi-use mixed gravel and paved pathway that follows the course of Bunn’s Creek through a lush, tree-lined corridor. The route passes through wetlands, forest groves, and open park spaces, with plenty of spots for birdwatching and taking in the peaceful scenery. In spring, the creek runs swiftly toward the Red River, adding a refreshing backdrop to this popular community trail.

The Preston Trail offers scenic views of nature and the surrounding forests all year round. It is particularly quiet in the mornings, making it ideal for relaxed exploration. Be sure to follow the marked trails to protect the natural environment.
