Canada Province of Manitoba The forks

The forks is situated where the Assiniboine and red river meets, and it has been a meeting place for at least 6000 years. Today its a nice park with possibiliies for activities. There are often conserts and you will also find a Childrens museum in the park. In the Forks market you can taste local speciallities or just walk around and have a look at all that are on sale there. From the park you can also take a boatride on the rivers. When I visited there were still a lot of water in the rivers, and the pathways along them were flooded. This is some of what I saw on my visit to the forks.
