Check out the incredible ruins for free along with interpretive signage, the La Salle river, a Pagoda and Buddharupa!

This free heritage park is sometimes referred to as the 'other forks', 'original forks', or 'mini forks' as it's the confluence of the Red & La Salle Rivers. Take a walk around the small park and immerse yourself in Métis family life as it was during the late 1800s!

Take a stroll in this small piece of Manitoban heritage and find yourself amongst an old village, with a local house, a meat shop, and the world-famous Red River Cart. This is where the stand off between Louis Reil, the Metis people & their followers versus the government of Canada took place. Oh, and it's right beside the Farmer's Market...

LaBarriere is a river bottom forest eco system that is under protection and preservation. If you venture onto one of the walking paths, you'll come to a bridge over the LaSalle River before entering the forest for a beautiful walk amongst nature. LaBarriere Park is city owned land located in the Regional Municipality of Ritchot. Built in 1969 as a pledge to add more green space, it's 136 Hectares of beautiful prairie green space just waiting to be enjoyed!
