Western Region at a Glance
Located in the centre of the country, the Western Region of
Manitoba offers travellers a wide variety of places and landscapes to explore.
Spruce Wood Provincial Park is a popular spot with the Spirit Sands standing out
as a truly unique fixture–giant, undulating sand dunes covering over 5 sq km (19
sq mi) standing over 30 m (100 ft) in parts. The largest park in the region is
the Riding
Mountain National Park, a 3000 sq km (11,600 sq mi) refuge teeming with local
wild life such as moose and wood bison. Travellers to this area can take advantage
the prime fishing spots here in the summer and enjoy skiing here in the winter.
Dauphin and
Brandon are two of the more
densely populated areas in the region, boasting some attractions as the Dauphin
& Distirct Allied Arts Centre, Canada's
National Ukrainian Festival, The
Royal Manitoba Winter Fair, The
Brandon Folk Music and Art Festival and the Brandon
Jazz Festival. Situated in the province known as the land of 100,000 lakes,
travellers will find an abundance of watery destinations here including Lake
Winnipegosis (Manitoba's second largest), Dauphin
Lake and Oak
Lake.
