Lower Fort Garry

Huge stone walls on the banks of the Red River bank surround the only stone fort still intact from the fur-trading days. The walls are surprisingly low, making you wonder how they kept invaders out. It's impeccably restored and reflective of the mid-19th century, with costumed tour guides adding color. The lovely park-like site is 32km northeast of Winnipeg.
