Lockport Provincial Heritage Park
Lockport Provincial Heritage Park, located on the east bank of the Red River is a treasure trove of history and nature. Recognized as a national historic site, the park is home to one of Manitoba's most significant archaeological sites and lies adjacent to the St. Andrews Locks and Dam. It's a popular destination for picnicking, birdwatching, and fishing.
The park offers direct shoreline access for fishing enthusiasts, with the Red River renowned for its rich fish population, including walleye, sauger, and trophy-sized catfish. For those seeking relaxation, the park provides plenty of shaded areas under mature trees, open green spaces, picnic tables, benches, and barbecue pits, all located on higher ground away from the shoreline.
