About this Event

Explore Cedar Bog Trail

Join us for a friendly group hike on the Cedar Bog Trail in Bird’s Hill Provincial Park! This relaxed adventure is all about getting outside, meeting new people, and having fun.

The Cedar Bog Trail is a 3.5 km loop that takes about an hour to complete. A highlight of the trail is the scenic boardwalk through the bog, offering a beautiful and peaceful experience in nature.

Remember this is not a guided interpretive nature hike, just a group hike to meet some new people, get outside, and have fun!


Trail Highlights:

  • Type: loop
  • Length: 3.5
  • Time: 1 hour
  • Difficulty: 1/5


  • Parking & Amenities:
  • Park pass REQUIRED
  • Outhouse available
  • Free Parking
  • Dogs are welcome but must be leashed


We hope to see you there for this delightful outdoor experience!


How to get there:

(from Winnipeg)

  1. Head north on Lagimodiere Blvd (hwy 59)
  2. Turn right on South Drive into Birds Hill
  3. At the first park intersection, turn left onto North Drive
  4. Follow signs for Cedar Bog Trail, turn left into parking lot.



What to Bring on Your Hike (Summer Edition)
  • A park pass is required for all vehicles entering provincial parks. An annual pass (which can be used in two vehicles) is $44.50. Daily permits are $9.50.
  • Check the weather forecast and dress appropriately! Pack a hat if it’s sunny, a raincoat if it’s going to get wet, and a sweater or jacket if it’s going to be windy or cold. Dress in layers so you can cool off or warm up as needed.
  • Comfortable, sturdy shoes are a must. You don’t need hiking boots. But sneakers are definitely a better choice than flip-flops.
  • Bring at least two bottles of water: you can leave one in your vehicle on a short hike; you’ll want both on a long hike.
  • Snacks are a great way to keep your energy up along the trail. Many trails don’t have restaurants or stores nearby so you may also want to pack a picnic lunch.
  • Bug spray and sunscreen: you can apply in the parking lot so you don’t need to carry them on the hike.
  • Hand sanitizer (Most trails have outhouses, not modern toilets.)
  • Any Medic*tion you may need (like antihistamines, your asthma inhaler, or an EpiPen)
  • A safety whistle, pocket flashlight, and a basic first-aid kit (not required, but a good idea any time you’re in the wilderness)



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 education programming or try an interpretive event offered by Manitoba Parks.



Weather & Cancellation Policy

We try not to let the weather stop us from getting outside. With the right gear, you can have a great time in most weather conditions.

That being said, safety must always be our top priority. We can’t be outside in a thunderstorm and may need to cancel if roads are hazardous.

Weather forecasts are notoriously unreliable. While we will do our best to monitor and make good judgment calls, there will be times when we decide to cancel and the skies clear and other days when a storm or high winds pop up unexpectedly.

We’ll send out an e-mail alert the day before an event letting registrants know if there’s a good chance we need to cancel. We will check the forecast again a few hours before the event to determine if we can try to go ahead.



How can we help?

If you have any questions or require any accommodations to participate, please email us at .
