Grey Owl Trail, Manitoba

You must see Riding Mountain National Park's forests, and there is no better way to do it than by hiking the beautiful Grey Owl Trail. This trail, which is 14.2 kilometers round trip, runs through the woods and is mostly shaded. Keep an eye out for signs of wildlife, such as tracks on the ground or tree claw marks.

It takes an average of 3 hours and 41 minutes to finish this fairly difficult route. Although this is a popular trail for birding, hiking, and trail running, it may still be peaceful at certain times of the day. The trail is mostly shaded by a forest canopy, which is ideal for hot summer days. It is brightly colored in the summer, with butterflies fluttering by and bright wildflowers in full bloom among the brown earth and green trees. The trail is snow-covered in the winter and may be accessed by snowshoe or skis. Grey Owl's cabin, located near the trail's end, has picnic tables where you may have your lunch before returning to the trailhead.
