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.

Sturgeon Creek is a beautiful, winding tributary of the Assiniboine River that flows through Winnipeg’s St. James area. Lined with trees, grasses, and restored wetlands, it supports a wide variety of fish, birds, and other urban wildlife. The creek’s natural corridor also provides a scenic backdrop for trails and parks along its course through the city.

Woodhaven Park hugs the banks of Sturgeon Creek, blending open fields with shaded paths and quiet creek overlooks. The park’s central hub, the Woodhaven Community Club, is surrounded by two hockey rinks, a soccer field, a basketball court, and a playground, making it a popular spot for families and local events. Whether you’re walking the trail, watching birds, or pausing by the water, it’s a peaceful greenspace with plenty of room to enjoy spending an afternoon.

The Sturgeon Creek Trail is a lovely, four kilometre crushed limestone multi-use path that traces a peaceful corridor through west Winnipeg, following the creek past open meadows, shaded woods, and quiet residential pockets. You’ll cross several footbridges and pass interpretive signs that highlight the area’s natural and cultural history, including connections to Indigenous communities. There are plenty of benches and picnic spots along the way that are ideal for birdwatching or a relaxed afternoon by the water.

Once the site of an industrial plant, the Transcona Community Bio Reserve has been transformed into a lovely park with over 1.6 kilometres of crushed limestone trails and a thriving patch of Big Bluestem grass. In spring, frogs are active and vocal, and in summer, you’ll see plenty of wildflowers blooming along the trail, with butterflies and songbirds common throughout the park.
