Riding Mountain Park East Gate Registration Complex, historic site in Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba

Riding Mountain Park East Gate Registration Complex stands along PTH 19 at the eastern entrance of Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba. Two log and stone pavilions flank the road, each topped by a cupola, and a roofed sign spans the highway between them. The designated area also includes the Whirlpool Warden's Station and a gatekeeper's residence.

The complex was built in 1933 during the Great Depression, providing work for many local workers through government relief programs. It was officially designated a national historic site of Canada in 1992 to protect its significance.

The gate's cupolas carry a roofed sign spanning the highway between the two pavilions, so the entrance itself announces the park. The complex was designated a national historic site in 1992 as an exceptional example of the rustic style in Canada's national parks. Entry at this gate comes from the Rural Municipality of McCreary.

The site sits along PTH 19 highway and is easily accessible by car; visit during daylight to appreciate the building details and surrounding landscape fully. Wear comfortable shoes as you can walk around to explore the different structures and grounds.

The gate's two log-and-stone pavilions carry cupolas, and a roofed sign spans PTH 19 between them.
