At Prince Arthur’s Landing today, community members gathered to mark #InternationalTrailsDay by planting trees, sharing stories, and building connection.
Thanks to WTRCAT, Trans Canada Trail & all volunteers working to make Thunder Bay’s trails more inclusive, accessible & rooted in care.
🌿🌍 Happy #InternationalTrailsDay!
Celebrate the beauty of trails—the winding paths that connect us to nature & each other.

A small white wooded lighthouse with red trim looks out from its place on a rocky spit over the enormous Lake Winnipeg on a partly cloudy late fall day. A bright red gooseberry bush lights up the foreground.
A bench overlooking a boreal lake can be seen through the gap in tall balsam fir trunks on a narrow trail through the woods.
A well-maintained boardwalk snakes through the boreal conifers in a thick bog.
A wide trail of ice stretches along a frozen river through the heart of Winnipeg on a frosty morning. Frost covered recycled Christmas trees line the trail in the foreground and tall riverbottom trees can be seen along the shore on the left.
I meant to add a few more Manitoba trails for #InternationalTrailsDay, so here are a few more late additions. There are just so many!
Lighthouse Trail - Hecla/Grindstone PP
Spray Lake Trail - Duck Mountain PP
Boreal Trail - Riding Mountain National P
Nestawaya Ice Trail - Winnipeg (only in winter)
Two pine trees stand in the middle of the photograph as a rocky trail runs to the left of them. Behind, a river threads through rusty red grasses in a valley between two forested rock outcrops.
Looking down on an arched bridge crossing a creek deep in a wooded valley. The late evening sun lights up the thick canopy in gold.
A woman and a large white dog stand next to a rushing river on a floor of flat granite. Behind them, a wall of rock rises on the right bank and is covered in spruce trees. It's a sunny but cold day.
Looking up at an almost bare sand dune on a bright blue day. A wooded cable ladder lies on the sand to give you something to step on as you climb the dune.
A few more Manitoba favourites for #InternationalTrailsDay.
1. McGillvray Falls - Whiteshell Prov. Park
2. Pembina Rim - Pembina Valley Prov. Park
3. Bird River Canyon (May have been affected by the fires this year)
4. Spirit Sands - Spruce Woods Prov. Park.
A woman in a plaid shirt and wide-brimmed hat walks into the sun down a forested trail on a bright day in the fall.
New green leaves shine against the dark thick trunks of basswood trees in the dense forest. A narrow trail winds through it.
Tall white aspen trunks rise up on either side of a trail into the high gree leafy canopy, making the forest look like a cathedral on a summer day.
A narrow sandy trail winds along the top of a narrow treeless ridge. To the right, the forest begins and sweeps down to the curving Assiniboine River Below. It's a bright blue day.
It's #InternationalTrailsDay.
All Manitoba trails are closed due to fire risk, but I thought I'd share some favourites for when we can explore again.
1. One of the many short trails around Grindstone
2. Wild Grape - Beaudry Prov Park
3. Chickadee - Birds Hill PP
4. Hogs Back - Spruce Woods PP
