About Yellow Quill

Yellow Quill Provincial Park is a remote wilderness park in east-central Manitoba, named after the distinctive yellow feathers of the northern flicker that were used by Indigenous peoples for decorative purposes. This backcountry park protects pristine boreal forest, numerous lakes, and wetlands in a relatively undeveloped setting. It offers opportunities for canoe-based wilderness recreation, fishing, and experiencing Manitoba's northern forest ecosystems. The park's isolation provides an authentic wilderness experience away from development.
