Carberry Manitoba Tourist Information
The landscape around Carberry has some interesting features unique to the province and much of Canada. Thousands of years ago, the Carberry area and the Manitoba Escarpment formed the shore of Lake Agassiz. As the lake dried, the Carberry Sandhills were left behind where the lake shore once was. Today, The Spirit Sands Desert just outside of Carberry is five square kilometres of blowing sand dunes that rise above the prairie landscape. The land is an array of rolling hills and valleys that are covered in fertile sandy soils.
No matter what the season is, Carberry offers a wealth of recreational activities.
In the summer months, many Manitobans have discovered one of the province's finest golf courses, the Sandhill Golf & Country Club. Nearby, the world class Assiniboine River canoe route winds its way through Sprucewoods Park, along with many fine hiking trails. Anglers also have their choice of many fine fishing holes in the are. Carberry is also a stop for the summer chuckwagon races.
Carberry hosts many summer sporting tournaments that range from base ball to horseshoes to golf. Annual fairs like the Carberry Agricultural Fair, the Harvest of Hobbies and Pine Fort Days also contribute to an active summer schedule. The winter season is every bit as hectic in the Carberry area. Organised sports leagues for children and adults mean there is always a hockey or ringette game, or a curling match in play. Numerous groomed cross-country ski and snowmobile trails wind their way through the area. Skating ice fishing and tobogganing are also available nearby.
Carberry's public library houses over 7000 books, as well as the public archives. The Carberry Plains Museum portrays daily life from the settlement days to the present in its various displays. The Seton Centre displays artwork, books and memorabilia by the famed artist, writer and naturalist Earnest Thompson Seton. The Carberry Plains Arts Council allows residents to take part in a variety of arts and crafts while enjoying touring displays of visual arts.
Another unique and enjoyable opportunity in Carberry is the thespian dinner theatre offered by the local troupe Exit Stage Left.
