River Road Trail Signs

River Road Heritage Parkway is a 13-km stretch of road north of Winnipeg that includes several national and provincial historic sites. It makes a lovely drive or bike ride. The nine sites are linked through a series of storybook panels at each site that tell the story of a Métis family on a journey to the Stone Fort in 1845 – a time of change. Each site has its own interpretive signs to tell visitors about that site as well.
