Find a scenic escape a short drive from Winnipeg on the St Adolphe Friendship Trail.The trail is 2.7km out-and-back and takes approximately 30 minutes to complete with flat and easy terrain. It starts south of the Pierre Delorme Bridge and meanders through a bird sanctuary that offers wildlife enthusiasts an opportunity to spot birds on their annual fall migration. The trail itself is the creation of a local couple, Henriette and Richard Collette. During the first years of the pandemic, the duo kept themselves busy by picking up garbage and cleaning along the shore of the river. As a result of their work, a small trail was created in order to access the area. The access trail became an impromptu hiking route that sparked support for a permanent trail in the community, inspiring the Colettes to continue their work, and the St Adolphe Friendship Trail was born. There are many spots along the way to rest and enjoy the view, as well as bird feeders, windchimes, and other unique decor created and installed by the Colettes and other community members. How To Get ThereType in ‘St Adolphe Friendship Trail’ into a GPS or smartphone. Note that the instructions may guide you to the north trailhead while we are meeting at the south trailhead.
