Pine Point Rapids

Been hiking here for the past 10 years or so. The views are varied and all gorgeous: the winding river, lush forest, Canadian shield, and of course the rapids themselves.

There are two trails to the first set of rapids: an easy gravel one through the forest and a moderate one through the Canadian shield. There are two benches, an outhouse, and a fire pit at this first set of rapids. From the first set of rapids is a loop trail of moderate difficulty to the second and third rapids. The first and third rapids look amazing with a sufficient water level, but the second isn't anything special.

I'd personally recommend visiting in the late summer for swimming in the first set of rapids; it's doable if you're cautious and watch your step. This latest visit was during mid-fall; while the autumn season makes for better views thanks to the change in colour, the water level is too low for rapids. Go during the summer for swimming or autumn for photos.

Great hiking spot! Even better when the water is high. Hit it in late spring or early summer.

There’s a beautiful diversity of terrain and plants throughout this trail. I would give the self-guiding trail a 2/5 for difficulty, the falls trail a 3/5 for difficulty, and the hiking trail a 1/5 for difficulty. Unfortunately the water level was super low so I didn’t get to see the falls in action, but the extra distance was so worth it, the forested area was stunning!

Disappointed that the water level is very low and the water is not running. We usually enjoy playing in the water. Lots of wild raspberries and blueberries.

Really nice trail. With the viburnum loop it’s 8.1 km, sadly the falls were dried up when I went (July 2023). Moderate hike with uneven grown and climbing onto large rocks and a number of the trail posts have been broken off. (Depending on the plant growth, on the last leg of the viburnum loop it’s hard to find the exit. If you’re at the top of a large rock outcropping with no clear exit, look to your left from the last trail post.) Definitely not wheelchair accessible for the self guided trail piece but if you did the return trail as an out and back from pine point rapids it’s pretty simple with a couple hills.

Normally we see rushing rapids or a nice flow of water coming through.this time water was extremely low so rapids were a trickle. Walk to get there was still nice as always

Was a beautiful day to be out when we hit this trail! Got out early enough to beat the rush of ppl checking out the falls haha! Awesome to see so many ppl out btw! The view was spectacular at the falls! We did the extra loop to make sure we got to see the best of what the trail had to offer!
Few wet n muddy spots but was nothing to worry about! Oh and just found a couple of ticks on us! Not bad for the time of the year!

Peacefull and Relaxing, sounds of birds, pine smells, rapid sounds. Nice for littke kids too. Strolers only good untill 1st rapids not the whole loop.

Captivating and stunning site for hiking. Well preserved trails, which is great for beginners. Spent 4 hours to complete the longer trail. Take with you some snacks and drinks, and wear appropriate clothes and shoes for hiking. There’s a couple of picnic tables with bonfire pits that you can use if you want to rest and stay for a moment while enjoying the nature and the scenery.

Beautiful hike, lots of options for beginners to more experienced. Actually very impressed, it seems like every turn revealed another lovely waterfall, and o course the Manitoba weather cooperated which made the day even more amazing
