🚴 Big news for trails in our region! We can't wait to see this project take shape and the new opportunities it will create for exploring our area!

Please be aware that temporary trail closures are in place and the Crawford Creek trailhead parking lot is closed during construction!

🌲🥾 Exciting news!

Construction on the North Trails Project is now underway in Riding Mountain National Park.

🚵 Through a partnership between Parks Canada and Northgate Trails Inc., the project will enhance the Crawford Creek Trail area with a sustainable, year-round, multi-use trail network. The new trails will connect with the Northgate trail system through the Edwards Creek trail network, creating more opportunities to explore the region both inside and outside the park.

⚠️ To support construction activities and ensure public safety, temporary area closures are in place in portions of the Crawford Creek and Edwards Creek Trail areas. Visitors are asked to respect all closure signs and restrictions.

🅿️ The Crawford Creek trailhead parking lot is also closed for the duration of construction activities. Visitors should plan ahead and check for updates before heading to the area.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as this exciting project moves forward.

🌿 Protecting the area's ecological and cultural values remains a top priority. The project includes environmental protection measures, archaeological assessments, sustainable trail design, and ongoing monitoring.

Once complete, the network will offer expanded opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, trail running, cross-country skiing, fat biking, and snowshoeing.

Thank you for your patience as we work to create new ways for visitors and local residents to enjoy Riding Mountain National Park.

One year of Back in Black's! 🎉

This month marks one year since Adrian and Suzanne took over Back in Black's at 211 Main Street South.

We introduced Adrian as Dauphin's Bike Medic a couple of weeks ago, but bike repairs are only part of what you'll find at Back in Black's.

The shop is also a sporting goods and apparel store, with new, used, and vintage items including sporting equipment, clothing, footwear, bike parts and gear, and more. It's also the official local spot to pick up Northgate Trails Dauphin merch!

Because consignment is part of the shop, the selection is always changing as new items come in.

Congratulations to Adrian and Suzanne on their first year at Back in Black's! 👏

📍 211 Main Street South
Thursday: 12 PM - 6 PM
Friday: 12 PM - 6 PM
