The closest crag to Winnipeg at just an hour east along the highway. The 15m cliff ranges from 5.2-5.9 routes all top rope. Bolts are already put in, so grab your rock bag and climb!

Just off of the main road at Falcon Lake (Highway #44) is the closest Crag to Winnipeg, Lily Pond. The cliff is 12-15m tall and ranges from some great beginner 5.2 all the way up to 5.9 cracks and slab. A well traveled path takes you up along the back of the crag to the top where you can set up some slings to anchor for top rope climbing and even set up a tent if you want! There is a small fire pit so go ahead and roast some marshmallows post climb.

The rock is decent, but it's close to Winnipeg and has a solid range of approachable routes for the general population of climbers. This is also a great place to introduce yourself to outdoor climbing and how to climb granite instead of indoor holds bolted to walls!

This place was my first introduction to outdoor climbing and it will always have a special place in my heart. If you're in the Whiteshell Provincial Park let me know! I will take any excuse to go and climb, canoe, or hike around.

Cheers,Garrett

Canoe Camp the Caddy Lake Tunnels

Start your trip by renting your canoe at either Green Bay Resort or Caddy Lake Resort, or if you know someone with a cottage on Caddy Lake, rent a canoe on ShareShed or from Winnipeg Canoe Rental and launch from your friend's cottage to save some money. Once you have launched from your starting point on Caddy Lake, paddle to the North end of the lake, if the weather is good this should take yo...

Hike the High Lake Trail

Start at the Falcon Trails Resort main lodge and head out on the well marked trail. It winds up around behind the little ski hill there and heads south east out towards High Lake on an easy to follow, double track gravel trail. There is the odd kubota (resort utility vehicle) traffic by staff, but they are very friendly and happy to see anyone out using the trail. You will adventure through jac...

Hike to the Top of the World

The Top-of-the-World Trail is probably one of the best trails in the Whiteshell Provincial Park. It's a short, easy little loop through amazing jack pine forests and over granite bedrock. Lots of rocks and roots to make the hike interesting. Half-way through the loop you end up at the Top-of-the-World look-out. It. Is. Awesome. Super cool geology there along the cliff with giant boulders skewed...

Explore the Pinawa Suspension Bridge

Located slightly over an hour from Winnipeg, the Pinawa Suspension Bridge is a nice secluded spot to check out, especially if you are into photography. If you are an early bird, you'll want to take in sunrise at the bridge, there is almost a guarantee that no one will be around and the entrance to the bridge comes from the West facing East, so you'll have a nice view of the sunrise (pictured a...

Kayak the Bird River Canyon

The Bird River flows west from Bird Lake into Lac de Bonnet and then towards Lake Winnipeg. A short day paddle for confident kayakers, this river has a lot of flow through tight technical CII-IVt sets. The canyon is the highlight of the river with the river narrowing down to about 7ft wide and steep rock walls on either side. The rock on river right makes a great viewing spot to watch people go...

Canoe and Camp on Dogtooth Lake

Located just East of Kenora, ON, Eagle-Dogtooth Provincial Park contains several peaceful lakes the makes the perfect setting to get away from society. If approaching from the West on the Trans Canada Highway, take the exit right for Highway 71 to Fort Frances after passing Kenora. If coming from the East, exit left onto the same highway before you get to Kenora, if you have reached the 17A b...
