Did you know that Manitoba is home to the largest gathering of snakes in the world? 🐍
Located approximately 1.5 hours north of Winnipeg in the Interlake region, the Narcisse Snake Dens comes alive each May and September as thousands of red-sided garter snakes emerge in a truly extraordinary sight to behold.
For those seeking an up-close experience, a 3 km interpretive trail awaits, providing access to four active dens where mating balls often form. Choose a warm and sunny day to explore the trail and witness firsthand these fascinating creatures.
To enhance your visit, knowledgeable Park Interpreters are available on-site to offer guidance and answer questions. They can also assist with snake handling, as it is permitted to pick up one snake at a time. Be sure to handle them with care and be attentive to the snake’s comfort level and signs of stress.
If you’re eager to witness this natural wonder, now is the perfect time as the spring viewing season is currently underway.
