6 Ways to Embrace the Magic of Winnipeg Winters ❄️

Winnipeg’s winters are more than just cold—they’re an experience. From snow-draped landscapes to cozy indoor escapes, here’s how you can make this frosty season unforgettable.

1. Take a Winter Walk Through Assiniboine Park

Bundle up and head to Assiniboine Park to see snow-covered trees and frozen ponds. The quiet stillness of the park in winter feels like stepping into a postcard. Pro tip: Bring a thermos of hot cocoa to sip along the way!

2. Skate the River Trail

Did you know Winnipeg boasts one of the longest natural skating trails in the world? The Red and Assiniboine Rivers turn into a stunning icy pathway every winter. Lace up your skates and experience the city from a whole new perspective. Check out The Forks for trail updates and rentals.

3. Snap Frosty Photos

Winter light in Winnipeg is pure magic. Sunrise and sunset cast golden hues over snowy streets, while frost-covered branches make for stunning close-ups.

Experience the thrill of ice fishing on one of Manitoba’s most iconic lakes. Gather your gear, set up a cozy shack, and enjoy the peacefulness of waiting for the catch of the day.

Don’t forget to dress warmly and bring snacks! For guides and tips, check out Manitoba Ice Fishing.

5. Cozy Up Indoors

Not every adventure has to be outdoors. Winnipeg winters are also perfect for cozy moments:
