Visitor Centre
The Visitor Centre should be your first stop when you visit Wasagaming. The
Centre acts as the "nerve centre" of the park. You will receive up-to-date
information on interpretive programs, park and town facilities, trails, and
even the weather. The Discovery Room is alive with real life scenes from the
park. Come face to face with a wolf or moose, and learn about the factors that
influence the park and its wildlife. Visit the Nature Shop, run by the park's
co-operating association, Friends of Riding Mountain National Park. Inside you
will find a wide selection of nature-related toys, books, clothes and crafts.
Finally, the Visitor Centre is one of the places that you can purchase fishing
licenses, park vehicle passes, and park interpretive program tickets.
