Join CPAWS Manitoba for a group hike to get out into nature and explore Manitoba's parks!
Find a scenic escape a short drive from Winnipeg on the St Adolphe Friendship Trail.
W e are hosting two hikes on Saturday. This is the 1:30 pm hike. Register for the 11 am hike here.
The trail is 2.7km out-and-back and takes approximately 30 minutes to complete with flat and easy terrain. It starts south of the Pierre Delorme Bridge and meanders through a bird sanctuary that offers wildlife enthusiasts an opportunity to spot birds on their annual fall migration.
The trail itself is the creation of a local couple, Henriette and Richard Collette. During the first years of the pandemic, the duo kept themselves busy by picking up garbage and cleaning along the shore of the river. As a result of their work, a small trail was created in order to access the area. The access trail became an impromptu hiking route that sparked support for a permanent trail in the community, inspiring the Colettes to continue their work, and the St Adolphe Friendship Trail was born.
There are many spots along the way to rest and enjoy the view, as well as bird feeders, windchimes, and other unique decor created and installed by the Colettes and other community members.
How To Get There
Type in ‘St Adolphe Friendship Trail’ into a GPS or smartphone.
Note that the instructions may guide you to the north trailhead while we are meeting at the south trailhead.
Or follow these directions:
From Winnipeg, head south on Highway 75 to the junction of Provincial Road Hwy 210, then turn east on 210.
Continue until you reach the junction of 75 and Main Street, turn south onto Main Street.
Continue south until you reach the junction of Main Street and St Paul Street, turn west on St Paul Street. You’ll find the trailhead at the end of the street.
Amenities
There are no outhouses at the trailhead.
The trail is inside the town of St Adolphe with a grocery store and gas station nearby.
What to Bring on Your Hike/Activity
-The key to enjoying winter activities is to stay warm and dry.
-Layers are your best friend.
-Hiking is good exercise. You don’t want to get sweaty while you’re moving and then catch a chill when you stop. So be aware of your body temperature and take layers off -- or pile them on -- as needed.
-Start with a lighter puffer jacket or windbreaker supplemented by a sweater or fleece and a long-sleeve shirt (a moisture-wicking fabric baselayer if you have one, cotton if you don’t.)
-You may overheat in a heavy parka unless it’s very, very cold out.
-Snow pants or windbreaker/shell pants are well worth the investment. They don’t have to be expensive. They just need to keep your bottom half warm and dry, especially when you sit down for a snack break.
-Don’t forget a warm hat, mitts, and either a scarf or neck warmer.
-You can layer thin gloves under heavy mitts for added warmth and flexibility.
-Warm, comfortable, and sturdy boots are a must. You don’t need expensive hiking boots. But you will not enjoy walking through the woods in sopping wet sneakers or leather boots with a high heel.
-We recommend getting spikes or a traction device for your shoes for icy conditions. You can find them at Wilderness Supply, MEC, or even Costco!
Outdoor Fun: What to Expect on Your Group Hike/Activity
Sometimes we just want to have some fun and enjoy a friendly chat with a stranger.
Our group hikes and activities are an easy way to get outside and explore Manitoba’s beautiful parks with other people.
CPAWS staff will share their love of nature on a relaxing hike along our favourite trails.
There won’t be any lectures along the way: when we stop for water and snack breaks we’ll keep the conversation casual and light.
If you’ve got questions we’ll do our best to answer them. However, we are not formally trained park interpreters. We encourage people seeking learning opportunities to check out our outdoor learning programming or try an interpretive event offered by Manitoba Parks.
How can we help?
If you have any questions or require any additional accommodations to participate, please email us at [email protected].
