Item #32 - Visit a Canadian National Park I haven't been to before

My sister Susan and I finished our whirlwind Manitoba trip with a visit to Riding Mountain National Park (RMNP) and, in particular, Clear Lake.

It was a cool, windy day and the breeze off the lake made it feel even chillier... We walked out to the pier and tried a couple of the paths, but one was flooded and the other wasn't sheltered enough from the wind to make it enjoyable. So, when the going gets tough, the tough go shopping, right? Absolutely!

We visited the gift shops and clothing stores, sorted through all kinds of souvenirs, looked through an used book store, and tried a few of the local delicacies like fresh cinnamon buns, huge slices of pizza and hard ice cream, which was available in a lot of new and interesting flavours.

We only spent a few hours at Clear Lake, but it was enough time to decide that we need to come back some day. It's a beautiful place!

  1. Nice place to be, wish it had been warmer!

    Who'd have thought that would be an issue in July?
