Take the scenic drive to Notikewin Provincial Park which is 35 km North of Manning on Hwy 35 and 30 km East on Highway 692. Relax and enjoy this quiet well treed campground which offers 19 inviting sites and a day use area. Situated at the confluence of the Peace and Notikewin Rivers, this campground offers amazing views. Enjoy excellent Walleye and Northern Pike fishing right from shore! Hand launch boats and canoes at an open area along the shoreline for some relaxing exploration of the waterway. The whole family can hike the trails and enjoy viewing the birds and wildlife that inhabit this beautiful wild area.
Step back into the past and imagine the history of this area. Notikewin is from the Cree word for battle! It is said that in the 1700’s, The Beaver Tribe and the invading Cree Tribe battled many times in this area. The Hudson’s Bay Company established the Battle River House trading post upstream from the mouth of the Notikewin River. The Battle River House was located east of the mouth of the Notikewin River and was in use for almost 30 years. Time has erased most of the evidence of the post but traces of a cabin built in the 1920’s for use by trappers can still be seen south of the day use area.
