This is a list of provincial parks in Manitoba. Manitoba's provincial parks are maintained by the Department of Natural Resources and Northern Development (previously by Manitoba Environment and Climate), a department of the Government of Manitoba.[1][2]
Manitoba's parks are classified into one of the following types, as distinguished by The Provincial Parks Act: Wilderness, Natural, Recreation, and Heritage.[1]
Provincial Parks Act
The Provincial Parks Act is the key document outlining the management of Manitoba's provincial parks.
This legislation provides for parks to be dedicated for three purposes:[3]
- to conserve ecosystems and maintain biodiversity;
- to preserve unique and representative natural, cultural and heritage resources;
- to provide outdoor recreational and educational opportunities and experiences in a natural setting.
The legislation distinguishes several types of park, and each provincial park must be classified as one of these types:
- Wilderness, "if the main purpose of the designation is to preserve representative areas of a natural region;"
- Natural, "if the main purpose of the designation is both to preserve areas of a natural region and to accommodate a diversity of recreational opportunities and resource uses;"
- Recreation, "if the main purpose of the designation is to provide recreational opportunities;"
- Heritage, "if the main purpose of the designation is to preserve an area of land containing a resource or resources of cultural or heritage value;" and
- "any other type of provincial park that may be specified in the regulation."
