Asessippi

Asessippi Provincial Park is located in western Manitoba near the Saskatchewan border, encompassing the scenic Shell River valley and providing diverse recreational opportunities in the parkland region. The park features rolling hills, mixed forests, river valleys, and Lake of the Prairies created by the Shellmouth Dam on the Shell River. The name 'Asessippi' comes from the Cree word for the Shell River. The park serves as a popular destination for camping, water sports, hiking, and winter activities, offering a natural retreat in Manitoba's agricultural heartland. The park protects important transitional habitat where prairie grasslands meet boreal forest ecosystems.
