Parkland Region, Administrative region in western Manitoba, Canada.
The Parkland Region is an area in western Manitoba located between Lakes Manitoba and Winnipegosis on its eastern side and stretching toward Saskatchewan on the west. The landscape features water bodies, forested areas, and farmland mixed together across rolling terrain.
Indigenous peoples originally inhabited the region before European settlers arrived in the late 1800s. Agriculture then became established as the economic foundation and continues to shape the area.
Local communities maintain cultural traditions through events like Dauphin's Countryfest and activities at Indigenous reserves including Ebb and Flow and Waywayseecappo.
Provincial Trunk Highway 10 runs north to south through the region while Provincial Trunk Highway 5 crosses from east to west connecting main settlements. Driving a car makes it easy to explore different communities and natural areas.
Baldy Mountain marks the highest point in Manitoba and offers views over the surrounding landscape. Riding Mountain National Park and Duck Mountain Provincial Park are protected natural areas known for their lakes and forests.
