Bois-des-Esprits Park
Highlight • Rest Area
Bois-des-Esprits is a beautiful 47-hectare urban forest, known for its hand-carved tree sculptures, diverse ecosystems, and quiet trails along the Seine River. It’s the largest remaining riverbank forest in the city and part of the 27-kilometre Seine River Greenway, with a rare mix of oak woods, wetlands, and oxbow formations shaped by the river’s shifting course. It feels surprisingly wild for its location and is the perfect place for a peaceful walk without leaving the city.

Bois-des-Esprits Trail
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
The Bois-des-Esprits Trail follows a picturesque stretch of the Seine River through one of the city’s largest urban forests. The path winds beneath tall oaks and maples, past wetlands and meadows rich with wildlife. A highlight of the trail is “Woody,” the famous carved tree spirit that gives the forest its name, adding a touch of art and local character to the natural setting.

Seine River
Highlight (Segment) • River
The Seine River, a tributary of the Red River, winds through one of Winnipeg’s last intact riverbank forests, with trails that trace its oxbows and skirt wetlands shaded by cottonwoods. You’ll pass beaver lodges, spirit tree carvings, and maybe even deer, all within city limits. This stretch is popular with walkers and nature lovers, especially in spring and fall, when water levels rise and wildlife activity picks up.
