Here are fifteen that you won’t want to miss out on this year.
Spruce Woods Provincial Park
A popular camping spot in the summer, Spruce Woods is just as beautiful in the fall. You’ll love hiking along the stunning trails in this provincial park and seeing all the leaves change colour. While you’re here, you’ll also want to check out the Spirit Sands and check out the Devil’s Punchbowl.
North Haven Resort
If you are looking to get away from it all and enjoy some fishing, then consider visiting this fly-in resort located 1 hour and 25-minute flight from Winnipeg. Here, you can enjoy fall colours and be immersed in the wilderness of north-central Manitoba.
Riding Mountain National Park
You’ll love exploring this stunning national park. Located in Western Manitoba, there’s plenty to do and see here, especially during the fall. The weather will be more relaxed, which makes hiking Gorge Creek Valley and Bald Hill delightful. Plus, you’ll get to appreciate how gorgeous this park is in autumn.

Souris
This town is an excellent place for exploring. Souris River Valley is resplendent with hues of red and gold in Fall, which you can easily cross if you are brave enough to cross the famous Souris swinging bridge.
Falcon Beach
It may be too cool to go swimming (unless you’re a bit of a thrill-seeker!), but it’s certainly not too late to enjoy the beauty of this ranch.
In the fall, you’ll get to experience a much calmer stay at this beach. Consider staying at the Falcon Beach Ranch, where you can rent a cabin and even go horseback riding.
Corn Mazes & Pumpkin Patches
For a simple yet fantastic autumn trip, visit a pumpkin patch and corn maze near you! Get lost in the maze and pick a perfect pumpkin for the Fall/Halloween decor.
Buffalo Point Provincial Park
You’ll adore your time spent in this beautiful park. Book a place at the Buffalo Point Resort and head down with your RV or stay in a cabin. You’ll enjoy the beautiful autumn aesthetic when you stay here, and there are many great hiking opportunities. This is an especially good getaway if you have kids!
Hecla/Grindstone Provincial Park
You won’t want to miss out on an adventure in this beautiful park. In the autumn, you can head out on the hike to the famous lighthouse while enjoying far cooler weather than you would in the summer. Looking for somewhere to stay? There are lots of options ranging from campsites to luxury resorts.
Narcisse Snake Dens
In the spring, the garter snakes at the Narcisse Snake Dens have their mating season. But they also become active in the fall as they return to their dens. You’ll be able to see them until the cooler winter weather forces them back into their dens, so take advantage of this time!
Caddy Lake
Are you looking for something active to do? Consider heading out to Caddy Lake. You’ll get the chance to see how beautiful the area is in the fall as you kayak or canoe around the area. The rock formations in the area that were made with the construction of the railway are something to marvel at.

Oak Hammock Marsh
There are lots to do at Oak Hammock Marsh, even in the fall. Come here with a friend your significant other, or pack up the family and take the kids. You can go hiking canoeing, and you’ll get to learn all about nature in the area.
Scenic Lookouts
Perhaps the best way to see the beauty of Manitoba during Fall is to hike to a scenic lookout. Climb hills and cliffs, walk along lakes to enjoy soaring views of vistas and take in the wonder of Fall from these vantage points.
