WASAGAMING, MB, September 23, 2025 – Construction work to repair and upgrade the Boreal Trail in Riding Mountain National Park is now complete.

Key improvements include:
A new trailhead and interpretive signage, developed in collaboration with Anishinaabe Elders, offering cultural insights to enrich the visitor experience
Removal of damaged infrastructure
Rebuilding of the trail tread
Installation of new boardwalks and bridges
Improved drainage systems
