How to get to Duck Mountain Provincial Park
The park sits in the Parkland region of western Manitoba, about a 4 to 4.5 hour drive (roughly 380 km) northwest of Winnipeg via the Trans-Canada Highway and PTH 10. From Dauphin it is about 45 minutes north and west, and from Roblin roughly 30 minutes east on PTH 366 and PR 367. Roads into the park are paved or well-maintained gravel with some rolling grades on the escarpment, so RV drivers should watch for steep sections, loose gravel, and wildlife on the road, especially at dawn and dusk. The closest airports for fly-and-rent trips are Winnipeg Richardson International Airport (YWG) and Saskatoon (YXE), each a long day's drive away.
