The Forks National Historic Site

Steeped in 6,000 years of history, the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers in Winnipeg has long been a gathering spot for people from all walks of life. Spanning 54 stunning acres, this lively area offers a central market buzzing with energy, exceptional dining experiences, and cozy accommodations. Stroll along the expansive tree-lined paths that meander alongside the riverbanks, offering breathtaking views at every turn. For the thrill-seekers, there's a world-class skate park, while families can enjoy a delightful children’s play area and water park. In the heart of winter, you can rent skates and glide along one of the world’s longest skating trails, embracing the magic of a Winnipeg winter.

The iconic Esplanade Riel footbridge connects this vibrant spot to the très-European St. Boniface district. Here, you'll find an array of restaurants and cafes that serve up a taste of its artistic flair and francophone flavor. The downtown core is just a stone's throw away, offering even more to explore. Don't miss the Canadian Museum for Human Rights nearby, a striking architectural marvel that offers insightful exhibits, or take a leisurely stroll through the charming French Quarter, where the spirit of the past beautifully mingles with the present.
