Eastern Region Trip Planner

Welcome to Eastern Region, Manitoba

A collage of varied landscapes, farmland, lakes and rivers make up the region of Eastern Manitoba, located east of the province's Red River. Eastern Manitoba is a year-round destination, offering outdoor adventures including canoeing, hiking, fishing and hunting. Plenty of parks and recreational areas crowd together as well, including Whiteshell Provincial Park, with lush forests and abundant waters. Enjoy a summer day at the Grand Beach Provincial Park, located along the shores of Lake Winnipeg, and walk barefoot in the powdery white sands. Learn about French-Canadian, Dutch, Mennonite and Ukrainian settlers by visiting the historical sights of scenic small towns and museums such as the Anola and District Museum, Broken-Beau Historical Society Museum, and the Costume Museum of Canada. Several events also celebrate the heritage of the region including Pioneer Days, held in August in Steinbach, the largest urban centre in Eastern Manitoba and the Whitemouth Museum Heritage Day in Whitemouth, a municipality with strong community roots. Visit the Eastern region, a wilderness playground for the adventurous traveller.
