Skating on the Assiniboine River

The Assiniboine River now is the home to the longest stretch of skating in Canada and we are excited. It extends from the historic Forks all the way to just before the Maryland bridge - around 4.5 kms long! It is well maintained, cleared and flooded with a skate changing station just behind the River Gate Inn at the Hugo Street Docks. In addition to the skating path, there is a walking path that is frequented by joggers, bikers and people walking their dogs! It is a fantastic use of the river during the winter and has been a real hit with some of our guests.
