We plan to be at the lake in late July and would love to take the evening cruise on the Martese. It’s been many years since we’ve been on it, and can’t remember if the boat is wheelchair accessible. As that is now a requirement, I have been trying to find out and can’t find the answer. Could you please let me know? Thank you

Riding Mountain National Park
Recommended by ETHAN GOW
One of Manitoba’s most popular destinations, it would be hard to run out of places to see and things to do in Riding Mountain National Park.
Surrounding the town of Wasagaming, Riding Mountain National Park is one of Manitoba’s two national parks.
The park, which was created in 1933, covers nearly 3000 km2 of Treaty 2 Territory and protects three ecosystems that converge in the park boundaries.
With hundreds of hiking/cross-country ski trails, lakes, campsites, and a Bison enclosure.

( vote)Bald Hill Trail
The Bald Hill hiking trail is one of Riding Mountains’ most challenging. At over 10 km and changing elevation, the Bald Hill hike is not for the faint of heart. However, once conquered the views are worth the trek!
The trail is available from either the north escarpment or burls and bittersweet trailheads at either the west or east end respectively of Highway 19 in the park.

Bandstand
The bandstand is a focal point along the waterfront in Wasagaming.
This Recognized Federal Heritage Building was constructed as a Public Works project using Depression-relief funding, which stimulated building activity during the period 1930-1937. Open-air pavilions such as this were a common feature in National Parks during the first decades of the 20th century.
