Pinewoods Dining Room & Bistro
User Review
( votes)
Manning Park is mostly an outdoor adventuring destination, so it is helpful to bring food from elsewhere; however, if you are in a pickle or want some comfort food, this restaurant will hit the spot. While it is not fine dining after a long hike or day out skiing, anything you get will taste fantastic. […]
Manning Park Resort
User Review
( votes)
Manning Park is a resort town, so while it has many attractions beyond this resort, if you plan on staying the night, this is your only accommodation option. There are various options, from your standard hotel room to cabins or camping areas. You also get access to a range of things like a swimming pool […]
Cascade Lookout
User Review
( votes)
This is a serious adventure to get up here in the winter; it includes a 15km round trip ski; however, in the summer, you can drive up. From this winding road, you get spit out at this beautiful point where the whole valley opens, and you can see the highway, manning park and neighbouring mountains. […]

Manning Park Mountain Biking Trails
User Review
( votes)
You don’t have to be a good mountain biker to enjoy the trails here; you might not want to be a pro as they could be classified as too tame. The terrain isn’t very technical, which in non-mountain biking terms means anyone can ride it, and you don’t need a ton of bike handling skills. […]
Windy Joe-Hiking
User Review
( votes)
This is a massive hike, so not for the faint of heart. However, it is very well known within the Manning Park community. This 15 km out and back trail gains over 1000 meters of elevation, taking you to a beautiful lookout point. It’s best to make this trail in late summer/early fall, so you […]

Manning Park Visitor Center
User Review
( votes)
Like a typical visitor center, this place will give you all the information about the area. This would be a great place to stop if you were unsure of snow conditions or outdoor route options. This visitor center is also unique because it has on-site camping areas and picnic benches. So if you just got […]

Alpine Skiing/Snowboarding Ski Hill
User Review
( votes)
Skiing at Manning Park is top-tier. While it may not compare to a Whistler, the prices reflect that. The mountain is bustling with all the amenities of a typical ski area, plus more. If you are a beginner, you can rent skis or even take lessons. Throughout the day or week, you can progress from […]

Nordic Skiing Trail Network
User Review
( votes)
If you are like me and a little bit afraid of downhill skiing for its speed, then maybe Nordic or cross-country skiing is more for your speed. While there are still some downhill sections like Graduation hill (named this as if you can ride this, you can ride alpine routes), if you aren’t comfortable, you […]
Snowshoeing Trail Network
User Review
( votes)
Another way to get out into the winter trails if you aren’t a skier. You could go snowshoeing. There is a highly well-developed trail network with many small and long routes you could take. Many trails are even dedicated to only snowshoers meaning you get to see different parts of the forest than skiers do. […]
Polar Coaster Tube Park
User Review
( votes)
The final winter activity is going to the ski area and tubing instead of skiing. Much like a tube waterslide, groomed hills are explicitly developed for zooming down on tubes. There are double or single tube options, and fun for the whole family. Even if you don’t have kids, you should give this activity a […]
