The Pas is home to Sam Waller Museum, the former courthouse and oldest brick building in Manitoba. Nearby is Clearwater Lake Provincial Park, perfect for fishing or a beach day. Explore deep crevices, where rocks split from the cliffs as the “caves.”

Find Ladybug Garden and Sweet Nothings, where local artists display their works plus Tramping Lake features ancient images painted in red ochre on the rocks. Walk the suspension bridges at Wekusko Falls.
