7 Wonders of Manitoba Episode 4: The Spirit Sands

✨ 7 Wonders of Manitoba Episode 4: The Spirit Sands ✨

Just two hours west of Winnipeg, and less than an hour from Brandon, Spruce Woods Provincial Park’s diverse landscape offers a unique mix of environments from grass prairies to forested areas and parkland. Among the experiences to be had in this park are its desert-like sand dunes, the Spirit Sands, and the eerie oasis, the Devil’s Punch Bowl.

📍 The Spirit Sands are located on Treaty 1 territory.

We are excited to share an incredible documentary series that features seven of Manitoba’s most outstanding sites.

Each site was selected for its unique natural features, geological history, or the wildlife that inhabits it. The series inspires a sense of awe and appreciation for Manitoba’s beauty—we hope it does for you too!

I am now 75 having spent the first 12 years of my life in Manitoba when I moved with my younger sister to California. But, I still call Manitoba home and appreciate these videos.

Great video on the Sandhills. I spent many times there as a teenager. Born and raised on a farm near Carberry. Beautiful place .

Used to be able to dirt bike there in the 70s, after the military from Shiloh was done using it as a target for their howitzers. Found shell fragments, even an old bayonet there.

That's my Home Province I love it. ❤

I love Manitoba, I would like to go and work in that territory, as a forest engineer it inspire me.

There are beautiful wooded areas as well. The longer hikes are well worth it, as long as the weather is less than 35 Celsius. Take lots of water!

So interesting. I like these informative videos of Manitoba.

[johnzuck]

Thank you…very interesting and educational….never knew First Nations tribes had no fighting zones. Flora and fauna quite unique also👍

One of our favourite hiking spots in MB.

So glad my grandfather received 162 acres in Agassiz provincial forest for fighting in the war and past down the land to me. I keep it as pristine as possible and really enjoy being lost in nature. Natural berries and mushrooms, wood stove, pure well water, fresh air, all to enjoy while people cram into the tax hit cities and live in cramp quarters on top of each other just to have a cell phone and 5G radiation brain damage.... ;-)

I like these videos but I wish they could be narrated without the music which is too loud and irritating.

What will happen to all the critters that live in the sand dunes?
