“These cold temperatures have made it a great year for the Red River Mutual Trail,” Paul Jordan, Chief Executive Officer at The Forks, said.

Staff said the hopes are that mother nature keeps temperatures cool enough to hopefully extend the trail up to 6 km.

Crokicurl is also back for its second year in Winnipeg.

The game combining curling and tabletop game crokinole is back as a part of the Arctic Glacier Winter Park at The Forks.

It’s first-come-first-serve and free.

However, if you plan to hit the river trail and don’t have your own skates, Iceland Skate Rentals at The Forks Market will have a pair for you to rent.
