Riding Mountain National Park
Division No. 17, Canada · built 1930
Riding Mountain National Park is a national park in Manitoba, Canada, that sits atop Riding Mountain of the Manitoba Escarpment. Consisting of a protected area of 2,969 km2 (1, 146 sq mi), the forested parkland stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding prairie farmland. It was designated a national park because it protects three different ecosystems that converge in the area; grasslands, upland boreal and eastern deciduous forests. It is most easily reached by Highway 10 which passes through the park. The south entrance is at the townsite of Wasagaming, which is the only commercial centre within the park boundaries.
