WINNIPEG — Two new backcountry camping sites and 19 different projects to bolster and upkeep hiking infrastructure were announced on the eve on Manitoba Trails Day.
Environment and Climate Change Minister Mike Moyes hosted a news conference on Friday to tout $200,000 in new projects to create, improve and maintain recreational trails.
The recipients of the 2026 provincial trail grants program are undertaking various maintenance, trail study and construction initiatives.
New trails are slated to be built in Steep Rock, Falcon Lake, Landmark, Morris, Dauphin, Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes, Boissevain, Headingley, St. Adolphe, Treherne and Beausejour.
Also Friday, Moyes announced the opening of two new backcountry sites on the Black Wolf Trail in Hecla-Grindstone Provincial Park. Both sites are first-come, first-served.
“These campsites are going to turn a beautiful trail into another multi-day hiking opportunity. This is something that our government wants to see more of. We know Manitobans have been calling for this,” the minister said.
