Manitobans can enjoy free entry to provincial parks over the Labour Day long weekend, including Clearwater Lake Provincial Park.

 

The Manitoba government says vehicle permits will not be required from September fourth through seventh, giving visitors a chance to enjoy hiking, paddling, camping and time at the beach without an entrance fee.

 

Camping fees still apply, and reservations can be made through Manitoba Parks.

 

Visitors to Clearwater Lake are reminded to keep campsites clean, follow all fire restrictions, fully extinguish campfires and keep pets on a leash.

 

Beachgoers are encouraged to take advantage of the last long weekend before the kids head back to school.

 

Backcountry hikers and paddlers are also encouraged to register their trips online for added safety.
