Bois-des-Esprits offers a different side of south Winnipeg: an urban river-bottom forest associated with the Seine River. Save Our Seine documents the conservation work that protected it and provides information for people who want to explore.

For someone considering 590 St. Anne’s Road, the forest is worth researching as an outdoor destination in the wider area. Use current maps and trail information to choose an entrance and a route that suits the time you have.

Go for the landscape as much as any individual attraction. Older articles may describe carvings that are no longer standing, including the original Woody-Mhitik tree sculpture. Stay on established routes, allow for changing ground conditions and give yourself time to enjoy the setting rather than rushing through a checklist.
