Turtle Mountain
Adam Lake Trails
Discover Turtle Mountain Provincial Park on the network of hiking, biking, skiing and horseback
riding trails at Adam Lake. This large network of trails will take you through quiet forests and past a myriad of lakes and potholes abound with wildlife. Shorelines of cattails provide summer nesting sites for most species of ducks. Amid a chorus of frogs, nights reverberate with the calls of grebes and loons. The ponds provide food, shelter and breeding grounds for painted turtles, salamanders, muskrat, beaver, raccoon and mink. In winter, look for signs of moose, elk and deer that make use of the groomed trails.
There are five trailheads that serve as starting points at Adam Lake. They are: the main campground, the beach, the group campsite, the equestrian campsite and the winter recreation area. Across the network there are shelters located at Mary Lake, Adam Lake, John Lake and mid-way along the Intermediate Trail. Each shelter is equipped with a wood-burning stove for you to warm up or cook lunch. Overnight use of these shelters is not permitted.
At James Lake, you can stay overnight in the cabin. It’s a great place to end one day and plan for the next! The James Lake Cabin is equipped with bunks, a sleeping loft and wood stove. The James Lake Cabin is also shared with the Oskar Lake Canoe Route. Reservations are required – contact the Boissevain District Office at 204-534-2028.
Camping is also available at the Adam Lake Campground, which has basic and serviced sites. Contact the Parks Reservation Service at 1-888-482-2267 for information or visit the Adam Lake Campground Office.

The Rum Runners TrailThe Dunseith Trail was the historic trade route between Boissevain, Manitoba and Dunseith, North Dakota before PTH 10 was built. This trail was used in the 1920s and 1930s by rum runners smuggling alcohol across the Canada – U.S.A. border during the prohibition era. Today, of course, people use the official border crossing to claim their goods.
International BoundaryThe John Lake Trail runs along the international boundary between Manitoba and North Dakota, which was surveyed between 1872 and 1874. Look over your shoulder into the U.S.A.
