The Boreal, meaning "of the North", is a place of awe and wonder. The word comes from the Greek boreas meaning "god of the north wind". Mantario is right on the edge of the Boreal forest in the Mantario Wilderness Zone; it is wild in every sense of the word. The area also represents some of the best accessible canoe country in Manitoba. Come and explore the Garden of Boreas by canoe and on foot.
