The York Boats of Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site
Use your imagination to travel back in time…below on the banks of the Red River, York boats rowed by a Métis crew arrived with furs from across the continent. The York boat was truly an innovation inspired by the rugged wilderness of western and northern Canada! To share the York boat and Métis story today, Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site has collaborated with Métis woodworkers and crafts persons to build three York boats.

Lower Fort Garry HBC Fur Trading Post at Dusk Urban Exploration #44
One of Canada's National Historic sites Lower Fort Garry situated 20 miles north of Winnipeg Manitoba. This was a Hudson Bay Fur Trading Post built in 1830 to replace Upper Fort Garry 20 miles down the river which is right in the center of the City of Winnipeg now. And which flooded in 1826. Beaver Pelts were very highly prized for the making of Beaver Hats. And this Post acted as a Store and Supply Depot. The Treaty 1 for the safe settlement of the Prairies, with the Ojibway and the Cree, was signed here at Lower Fort Garry in 1871. In the Summer time, they do a lot of interpretive programs for visitors. That gives the true feel of how it would have been like, back then.

Driving Winnipeg - Downtown to Lockport, Manitoba, Canada (Henderson Hwy)
Lockport is a small unincorporated community in Manitoba, Canada located just 28 km north of the city of Winnipeg. The community is a part of both the Rural Municipalities of St. Andrews (west of the river), and St. Clements (east of the river).
It is the site of ancient agricultural inhabitation. Flocks of the North American White Pelican are readily seen as are Bald Eagles. Double Crested Cormorants, and many other land and water birds.
The Red River Floodway joins the Red River just down river from the dam. The bridge and locks at Lockport (completed in 1910), submerged the St. Andrews Rapids (a natural obstruction to the south) in order to make the Red River navigable through to Lake Winnipeg. The Red River Floodway joins the Red River just north of the dam. A small Provincial Park is located on the east bank of the river at Lockport and a federal park is located on the west bank.
Lockport is also known for having some of the best fishing in the world to both humans and birds. Specifically, the North Red River running through Lockport is known for some of the best fishing for trophy channel catfish. Lockport is an ancient settlement, predating European history by thousands of years. It is one of the oldest known settlements in Canada.
Some businesses to visit in Lockport include the A&W, Ricky's, Gaffer's Restaurant, Half Moon, Papa Carlo's, Skinner's, Sonia's and Subway Restaurants, famous for summer evening drives from Winnipeg.
