It seems to be a tradition – to get cool weather and sometimes even snow on the Victoria Day long weekend. Due to the weather conditions, campgrounds at the lakes certainly weren’t overcrowded.. . .
Moose Mountain is also great for wildlife finds such as moose, elk and many species of birds. An extensive trail system for hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling also runs throughout the park. With adventures waiting in every season, Moose Mountain offers new experiences with every visit.
Kenosee Lake is the largest body of water in the park and serves as its central tourist attraction. Seasonal recreational activities in and around the lake include fishing, hunting, hiking, cycling, swimming, water sports, cross country skiing, snowmobile riding, horseback riding, miniature golf and an 18-hole golf course. While visiting the park, stop by the visitor centre located in a stately stone chalet surrounded by flower gardens and affording a scenic lake view.
This annual event attracts visitors from far and wide. “We have had skiers travel from a few hours away, and it makes for a great reason to come and stay in the park at the Kenosee Inn and make a weekend out of it,” explains Ainsley Sauter, park administrative supervisor at Moose Mountain Provincial Park. There is no charge as long as you have a valid park entry permit. Permits are valid all year round, so if someone didn’t purchase one in the summer or they threw it out, a day permit is $10 per vehicle. “All ages take part. We’ve had skiers come out with infants strapped to their backs,” explains Sauter.
