East Side of Riding Mountain

Set overlooking the lush forests of Riding Mountain National Park and amongst the fertile land towards Lake Manitoba, Riding Mountain East is a destination rich in community and diverse in culture.

This destination runs from the East Escarpment of the park to Lake Manitoba and from the Village of Riding Mountain north up to the Village of Ochre River.

COMMUNITY | McCreary

The Village of McCreary can easily be passed by as a nowhere town in a nowhere place. Not until you turn in and walk through the village does this place truly shine. From days past, a smiling Archie welcomes you while he gazes into the horizon to the opportunistic future. Three short hours from Winnipeg, follow Highway #5 to the outskirts east of Riding Mountain National Park. The Village of McCreary works as a great base for your adventures.

Don’t worry, all the amenities are here. Just head down to the main business district and all will become clear.

With its picturesque tree lined streets, the Village of McCreary basks in the shelter of the scenic wooded Riding Mountain National Park. Much of the rolling hills in the McCreary area are seeded as agricultural crop land, but acres of virgin forest and untamed wilderness still surround McCreary. The area is home to many animals such as fox, racoon, moose and elk. Riding Mountain National Park has one of the densest black bear populations in Canada. McCreary is a community of year round fun where new friends and new neighbours are always welcome (Manitoba Community Profiles).
