Quick Summary

Riding Mountain National Park is a wilderness area located in southwestern Manitoba, Canada. It is notable for being surrounded by agricultural land. The park is situated on the Manitoba Cuesta, a steep escarpment that rises significantly above the surrounding lowlands. This ridge extends for hundreds of miles and has been eroded by rivers, creating what appear to be groups of hills. The Manitoba Cuesta is a major recreational area, and Riding Mountain National Park is a part of this region.12
