How to get to Lockport Provincial Heritage Park
The park sits in the community of Lockport on Highway 44 where it crosses the Red River, about 30 kilometres north of downtown Winnipeg via Highway 59, a drive of roughly 30 to 40 minutes. Selkirk is about 10 kilometres north, and Winnipeg Richardson International Airport is the closest major airport for fly-and-rent RV travellers. Routes are flat prairie driving with no mountain passes or tunnels, but RVers should note the narrow historic Lockport Bridge on Highway 44 and watch for tight turns, traffic congestion, and limited parking near the dam in summer. Nearby highways offer easier pull-through access for larger rigs staging at campgrounds in Selkirk or the Winnipeg area.
