Trail Together! Celebrating the Full Opening of the Nestaweya River Trail!

Posted on Feb 01, 2025 by The Forks Market

Today, we had the privilege of celebrating the full opening of this year’s Nestaweya River Trail alongside the community! A special moment made possible by the incredible support of our community.

The day began with a blessing from Elder Mary Courchene, reminding us of the deep connection between the land, the river, and the people who gather here. We were also joined by some of the 875+ donors who have already adopted their metres, each playing a role in ensuring this year's Nestaweya River Trail continues to thrive.

Thanks to all of the adopters of this year's trail and the hard work of the River Trail crew, we now have 6 kilometres of  trail ready for skating, walking, skiing, biking, and exploring. 

If you haven’t yet adopted your metre, there’s still time to #TrailTogether! Join us in keeping this winter tradition alive by supporting The Forks Foundation and adopting your metre here!


The Forks Foundation is the affiliated charity of The Forks North Portage, established in 2006. Over the years The Forks Foundation has received major gifts from caring Winnipeggers to help build the skatepark at The Forks and commission public art that is seen around the site. This campaign marks the first time The Forks Foundation has undertaken a public fundraising effort.
