Mantario Hiking Trail Reopens!
Great news for long distance hikers of the Manitoban variety: last week Manitoba fire rangers and parks staff worked to clear the damage from last October's snow storm on the long distance Mantario Hiking Trail. Yesterday park officials announced the trail has been officially reopened and is now ready to receive a new season of hikers!
The Mantario is one of Manitoba's only long-distance backcountry trail, stretching roughly 62-km along the Manitoba/Ontario border. Water resistant trail maps are available from both Wilderness Supply Winnipeg locations.
