A summer day trip from Winnipeg to Kenora, Ontario and Rushing River Provincial Park — where the prairie ends, the rock and pine begin, and one Saturday holds a town and three rivers
35 minutes from Winnipeg. A small town, a frozen river, and a surprise museum we first mistook for boat storage.
Just 30 minutes from Winnipeg. A full day in a Manitoba provincial park that turned out to be much bigger than we expected.
