Skaters can skate from The Forks down the Assiniboine River to the Osborne Street Bridge.

“After our bizarre, record warm January weather, it’s great to re-open and invite people back onto the trails,” Paul Jordan, CEO of the The Forks North Portage Partnership, said in a media release Friday.  “We know Winnipeggers are enthusiastic about winter activities.”

On-land rinks and trails are also open, in addition to snowboarding and tobogganing at Arctic Glacier Winter Park.
