Keep an eye out for the many ground squirrels living in mounds along the way. Open year-round, although most birds are gone during the winter freeze-up. Interesting interpretive and educational programs year-round. Open July-October daily 10 am-8 pm, November-June daily 10 am-4:30 pm. Can$5 adults (family rate of Can$18). Phone 204-467-3299.
