Another one of Manitoba’s most popular trails is the Pine Point Trail, located within Whiteshell Provincial Park. The pathway to Pine Point Rapids is easy to follow, but for those seeking a more challenging approach, a more difficult trail will lead you along the riverside. Once the first set of rapids has been reached, there is a seating area with tables and firepits where you can comfortably watch the sunset while surrounded by the beauty of nature. If you didn’t start this trail just to sit around somewhere, you could look forwards to the waterfalls and rapids further up the hike.

Unlike the first half of the trail, the second bit is more tricky as it leads you over rocky surfaces and through quiet forests. As not many people continue up to the second portion of this trail, you can look forwards to being one-on-one with the wilderness and its marvellous still presence.
