Duck Mountain Provincial Park
State park · Saskatchewan & Manitoba
Manitoba's highest ground, cresting at Baldy Mountain (2,726 feet), carries white spruce, jack pine, and quaking aspen across rolling hills pocked with ponds and creek channels. The road toward the summit clears the canopy partway up for a wide view over the aspen forest below, gold by late September while the spruce and jack pine hold their color underneath.
