Outdoor Adventure
Hiking/Snowshoeing
Exploring our trails in the winter gives you access to tons of beautiful, serene views! Here are a couple of trails that we recommend checking out:
This short Coquihalla hike takes you to a breathtaking view of Falls Lake and its two flanking mountains! Although this trail can be done in boots, snowshoes may suit your needs better depending on the conditions.
A popular destination of Manning Park all year round, this trail takes you on a picturesque snowshoe adventure to a unique building at the top!
Alpine Skiing/Snowboarding
Wax your skis or board, sharpen your edges, and hit the slopes of Manning Park! Carve through Manning Park’s high-quality snow on one of its many powder days!
Cross Country Skiing
Manning Park is also packed with cross-country ski trails where you can make your way through their beautiful landscapes at a leisurely rate to make sure you take in all the beauty they have to offer!
Tubing/Sledding
Rocket down the exciting tubing slopes of Manning Park’s Polar Coaster Tube Park and ride the rope tow back up to the top!
