| Travel Guide for Manitoba Located on the transition of the pancake-flat farmlands of the Great Plains, pristine wildland of sub-arctic boreal forests and subsequently the placid Arctic tundra where polar bears outnumber human being, and star-studded by an almost infinite chain of lakes and rivers, creating terrific conditions for canoeing, boating, fishing, birding and wildlife-watching, Manitoba is by and large Canada's premier getaway province. Its central status in Canada's geography and history, the wealth of recreation options entwined with the dramatically varying landscapes, and the vibrant cultural texture of diverse and hardy ancestral roots, all contribute to the unique character of Manitoba people, whose famed friendliness is emblazed on the their license plates, and bravery foiled the harsh climate to make the region a breadbasket for Canada and beyond. From summertime water dousing action of trophy northern pikes of Lake Winnipeg and hulky beluga whale on the Hudson Bay, to the wintertime snow crackling movement of the maternity polar bears denning in the Wapusk National Park, or the migrating group of such furry beasts down the streets of Churchill, a seaport by the Hudson Bay and the so-called Polar Bear Capital of the World by the whose Beluga Whale Watching tours are as popular as the Tundra Buggy Adventure tours, Manitoba's untouched natural splendor and spectacles are the answers to a nature lover's wildest dream. Summer hot spots on the shores of Lake Winnipeg, Lake Manitoba, and Lake Winnipegosis, three of the largest among the province's total of over 100,000 lakes, such as Victoria Beach, Hillside Beach, Winnipeg Beach, and Grand Beach, are the choicest destination designed for anglers and sun-worshippers. While Churchill justifiably accounts for the last and only city of any significance in the upper two thirds of north of the Trans-Canada Highway 1, there is arguably no lack of places of much appeal, especially in the myriad of national parklands. Better still, access to Churchill depends only on the costly flying-in and the time-consuming VIA Rail train service, while some of the well-established parks, like the Riding Mountain National Park with wildlife and hiking trails galore, Atikaki Provincial Wilderness Park, known for the wildest whitewater canoe routes along the Bloodvein and Leyond rivers, Whiteshell Provincial Park, whose highlights include gorgeous lakes and glamorous fishing lodges, Hecla/Grindstone Provincial Park, famous for unspoiled marsh and forest and enhanced resort facilities, are reasonably served by transport system. For your convenience of adventuring into the bleak backcountry of the arctic tundra, as well as visiting local cultural and natural attractions like the Wapusk National Park, Churchill Northern Studies Centre, York Factory National Historic Site, Prince of Wales Fort, and Eskimo Museum, you can resort to some of the fine Churchill Manitoba hotels and bed and breakfasts, like the Lazy Bear Lodge and the Polar Bear Lodge. In terms of Manitoba hotels and other Manitoba accommodations which can be used as convenient and comfortable bases for exploring other provincial and national parks fishing lodges, lakeside resorts and cabins and Manitoba bed and breakfasts are big deals, the Trailhead Ranch in the Riding Mountain National Park, Gull Harbour Resort in the Hecla Provincial Park, and Crescent Beach Cottages in the Whiteshell Provincial Park are among the best. Tucked away in the majestic expanses of golden blanket of wheat, barley, oat, canola, and sunflowers fields are the agreeable string of minuscule prairie towns along the Trans-Canada Highway 1, whose respective history and culture intrinsically tied to a distinctive ethnic heritage. You can take comfort in the Mennonite lifestyle of Steinbach, the pioneer history of Portage la Prairie, as its Fort La Reine Museum and Pioneer Village attests, and the suburban entertainment of Brandon, whose radiant charm and character take to the stage in the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair, Manitoba Summer Fair, Manitoba Livestock Expo, Manitoba Ag Days, etc. Add to your appreciation of this diverse and fascinating province is the cosmopolitan showcase city of Winnipeg, the provincial capital and the only veritable modern city and tourist destination in Manitoba. Your Winnipeg trip can easily fill a couple of days, busy strolling along the riverfront walks at the Forks National Historic Site, playing and picnicking on the spacious lawns of the Assiniboine Park, taking in the architectural aesthetics of Manitoba Legislative Building, the St. Boniface Cathedral and the historic building lined Exchange District, museum hopping from The Manitoba Museum to the Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature to Saint-Boniface Museum to Manitoba Children's Museum, and enjoying audiovisual treats of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, the Manitoba Opera, and the Manitoba Theatre Centre. Other activities and attractions Winnipeg has to offer include The Aboriginal Centre, The Royal Canadian Mint, Fort Whyte Centre, Osborne Village, Lower Fort Garry, Assiniboine Park Zoo, Mennonite Heritage Village, Leo Mol Sculpture Garden, Oak Hammock Marsh Interpretive Center and Oseredok Ukrainian Cultural & Educational Centre. "Partying in the Peg" is a huge blessing, for its decently affordable wealth of bars and nightclubs in Osborne Village, the Exchange District and along the Main Street downtown, the pleasantly full-service casinos like Assiniboia Downs, Club Regent Casino and the McPhillips Street Station Casino, and a host of cultural and heritage festivals and annual events, most notably the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival in July, Folklorama in August and Le Festival du Voyageur in February. Staying at any one of the wonderful hotels in Winnipeg further delights your senses. There is a full listing of major chain hotels in Winnipeg for your perusal, to be found in a choice of locations, including areas in downtown, near Polo Park Shopping Center, on Pembina Highway South, or in the vicinity of the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport. If money's no object, you should try at all costs some of the most noteworthy Manitoba hotels in Winnipeg, like the landmark Fort Garry Hotel, one of the most grandiose historical railway hotels in Manitoba and beyond, and the palatial Fairmont Winnipeg, which has played host to such VVIPs as Queen Elizabeth II and many other internationally familiar celebrities. Moderate and budget hotels in Manitoba are also best represented by hotels in Winnipeg. Hilton Suites Winnipeg Airport, Holiday Inn Winnipeg - Airport West, Holiday Inn Winnipeg - South or the Quality Inn & Suites make for a nice and worthwhile try. Manitoba travel guide is copyrighted.
