Manitou Manitoba Tourist Information
Manitou lies in the south central area of Manitoba, only a few short kilometres north of the United States border. Most of the area is high producing agricultural land, with many grain farms and livestock operations. The area's landscape was shaped thousands of years ago by the glaciers of the last ice age and the prehistoric Glacial Lake Agassiz that followed. Sediment deposited from the now extinct lake is what makes the area's soils so fertile and rich, and so well suited to crop production.
One of the largest attractions to the area is the Holiday Mountain Winter Park, located just minutes south of Manitou. This downhill ski facility developed on the steep banks of the valley, is one of the most popular winter recreation facilities in the province. The groomed runs provide a challenge to all caliber of skiers with slopes ranging from gentle to experienced-only. In the summertime, the Winter Park converts to a nine-hole public golf course, and the slopes of the valley offer some unique and challenging terrain. New in the year 2000, an outdoor theatre has been developed and an annual "Passion Play" draws large crowds from miles around. This outdoor theatre is only minutes from Manitou, west on Highway 3.
