Getting There

Starting your adventure from Winnipeg? You're in for a scenic 2-hours drive east along the Trans-Canada Highway. The drive itself is beautiful, with winding roads that hint at the natural beauty waiting for you at Falcon Lake. Once you arrive, head to the Top of the World Trail parking area, located in Whiteshell Provincial Park, where the trail begins.

What to Expect on the Trail

The Top of the World Trail isn’t overly long but packs in incredible views and varied terrain. Expect a steady incline, rocky paths, and a few narrow stretches, adding a hint of challenge that only enhances the thrill! The hike is about 2-3 hours round-trip, so it's perfect for a half-day adventure. As you reach the summit, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of Falcon Lake and the surrounding forest—ideal for photos and just soaking in the view.

Best Times to Visit

The trail is gorgeous year-round, but late spring through fall is especially stunning. In autumn, the changing leaves add even more color to the already breathtaking scenery, making it a photographer’s dream. Just remember to wear sturdy shoes—the rocky terrain demands good grip and ankle support to keep you steady as you hike and enjoy the views.

Bonus Nearby Spots

While at Falcon Lake, consider exploring other nearby spots like the Falcon Creek Trail or spending time by the beach. If you’re up for a unique adventure, check out Falcon Beach Ranch, where you can join one of their popular UFO rides—a horseback ride to a spot known for its mysterious UFO sightings! The area offers plenty of options for unwinding and adding even more memorable experiences after your hike.
