About Pisew Falls Provincial Park

Pisew Falls Provincial Park is a wayside provincial park in northern Manitoba, located along Provincial Trunk Highway 6 about 75 km south of Thompson. The park protects Pisew Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in Manitoba, where the Grass River drops roughly 13 metres through a boreal forest gorge. Day-use facilities include a large parking area, picnic sites, vault toilets, viewing platforms, and a suspension bridge over the Grass River. A longer backcountry route, the Upper Track Trail, connects Pisew Falls to Kwasitchewan Falls, the tallest waterfall in the province. The park is popular with road-trippers traveling between Winnipeg and Thompson, wildlife watchers, and photographers. It does not operate a developed campground on site, but nearby Paint Lake Provincial Park offers RV-friendly camping. The surrounding boreal landscape features black spruce, jack pine, and exposed Canadian Shield bedrock.

Best time to visit Pisew Falls Provincial Park

Late June through early September offers the most reliable weather for RV travel, with long daylight hours, open trails, and the suspension bridge accessible. July and August are peak months for waterfall viewing and wildflowers, though biting insects can be heavy in early summer. September brings cooler temperatures, fewer bugs, and early boreal fall colour. Winter visits are possible for day use, but Highway 6 can be snow-covered and the trails and bridge may be icy or closed.

How to get to Pisew Falls Provincial Park

The park sits on Highway 6 (the main north-south route to Thompson), approximately 75 km south of Thompson and roughly 740 km north of Winnipeg, a drive of about 8 to 9 hours. RV drivers should plan fuel stops carefully, as services along Highway 6 are widely spaced, and watch for wildlife, especially moose, particularly at dawn and dusk. There are no tunnels or steep mountain grades, but the highway has long remote stretches, gravel shoulders, and limited cell coverage. The nearest airport for fly-and-rent travelers is Thompson Airport (YTH).
