Ancient Beach Self-Guiding Trail – This picturesque self-guiding trail leads across ancient beaches where Lake Agassiz used to lay, before disappearing over 8000 years ago.  Glacial Lake Agassiz, at one time, covered much of southern Manitoba.  Approximately 9000 years ago, Lake Agassiz began to drain like a giant pool, into various bodies of water such as the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, the Artic Ocean and Hudson Bay.  As you walk through this fully groomed trail expect to see a forest full of jack pine, spruce and birch, and maybe if your lucky a deer or black bear that live amongst the forest that once lay beneath the glacial ice of Lake Agassiz.  The Ancient Beach Trail is 2.1 km in length, allow approximately 1 hour.  

Spirit Rock Walking Trail – On this short trail you will see a spectacular view of Lake Winnipeg and large glacial boulders, left behind by the majestic glacial Lake Agassiz.  The Spirit Rock Walking Trail is 1.1 km in length, allow approximately 45 minutes.  

Wild Wings Self-Guiding Trail – This trail takes you right through one of Grand Beach’s marshiest areas.  This area is well known for its abundant bird life, which build their habitat nestled in the marsh.  The Wild Wings Self-Guiding Trail is 1 km in length; allow approximately 1 hour to view all of the wildlife that make this marsh their home.
