How to get to Cannington Manor Provincial Park
The park sits roughly 25 kilometres south of Moosomin via Highway 8 and a short grid road, making it an easy detour off the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1). From Regina, expect about a 2.5 hour drive east, while Brandon, Manitoba, is around 1.5 hours to the east of the park. Roads are paved provincial highways followed by a gravel grid road for the final approach, so drivers of longer Class A or fifth-wheel rigs should take the final stretch slowly and watch for soft shoulders after rain. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent travellers is Regina International Airport (YQR).
