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.
