Never expected to see sand dunes in Manitoba. It was a surreal hike if you haven’t visited there. We went on a Saturday long weekend and it was moderately packed with people. Make sure to wear running shoes that doesn’t let sand in and water bottles as the water provided isn’t safe for drinking.
You can walk to the dunes or travel by horse drawn wagon. We chose to walk and I am glad we did because we had the opportunity to savor the observation deck and sand dunes. No other people were on the trail when we started at 10 am.
What a workout for your calves & feet! The sand is not the easiest to walk in, especially when walking up the inclines.
Spirit Sands is a nice little bike ride away from Spruce Woods' campground.
Don't forget to bring a water bottle or 2! Beautiful scenery. Kids enjoyed it!
Loved walking both to the dunes and the punch bowl.
You often walk through deep sand, so ge prepared fir a calf workout. Also, be sure to bring plenty of water. The map shows water stops, but they are jot potable.
