Arrowhead Trail

A family-oriented 3.4 km loop across gently rolling glacial terrain, forest and a beaver pond.

Route overview

Arrowhead Trail in Manitoba.

Arrowhead offers a compact introduction to Riding Mountain’s glacially shaped landscape. The loop passes mixed vegetation and a pond where beaver activity may be visible, while its rolling profile adds more effort than the park’s shortest interpretive walks.
