City & Place Guide

Gateway to Northern Manitoba's Wilderness, Culture, and Adventure

The Pas is a small northern Manitoba town situated at the confluence of the Saskatchewan River and Pasquia Hills, about 600 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg. With a rich Indigenous heritage rooted in the Opaskwayak Cree Nation, the town blends First Nations culture with a frontier spirit shaped by fur-trade history and resource industries.

Outdoor enthusiasts flock here for world-class fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, and wildlife viewing in the surrounding boreal forest and wetlands. The area is also a launching point for remote northern destinations, making it a practical and culturally rewarding stop for adventurous travelers.

  • •Sam Waller Museum — eclectic collection showcasing northern natural history and local artifacts
  • •The Pas Heritage Park — outdoor exhibits on the region's fur-trade and pioneer past

Getting around: The Pas is served by Via Rail's The Canadian transcontinental route, offering a scenic and practical arrival option. Greyhound-affiliated regional bus services connect the town to Winnipeg and other Manitoba centres. Within town, taxis are available but limited; rideshare apps have minimal coverage, so renting a car is strongly recommended for exploring surrounding parks and attractions.

Best time: Visit in late June through August for warm weather, long daylight hours, and full access to lakes and trails, or in February for the iconic Trappers Festival winter celebration.

Local food: Try freshly caught pickerel prepared in local diners, traditional Cree bannock, and wild game dishes like moose stew available at community events and some local restaurants.
