Manitoba Conservation
Over the years Manitoba Conservation has published many paper and digital guides to paddling in our province. Some of this information is contained within park and campsite pamphlets, and it is still available in print form on location, or by contacting the Manitoba Conservation offices at 200 Saulteaux Crescent R3J 3W3 / phone: 945-6784 / toll free: 1-800-214-6496. To issue a comprehensive list of all their publications which contain references to canoeing and kayaking would be problematic but the following are available online:
Outdoor Recreation - Canoeing. This page provides links to all campground and park pages which contain paddling information in their maps. References to Manitoba's Canadian Heritage Rivers can also be found here.
The following are direct links to some of the park maps in PDF format with canoe routes marked.
