- ✨ 7 Wonders of Manitoba Episode 4: The Spirit Sands ✨
Just two hours west of Winnipeg, and less than an hour from Brandon, Spruce Woods Provincial Park’s diverse landscape offers a unique mix of environments from grass prairies to forested areas and parkland. Among the experiences to be had in this park are its desert-like sand dunes, the Spirit Sands and eerie oasis, the Devil’s Punch Bowl.
📍 The Spirit Sands are located on Treaty 1 territory.

As we all stay home and stay safe, we wanted to share an incredible documentary series that features seven of Manitoba's most outstanding sites.
Each site was selected for its unique natural features, geological history or the wildlife that inhabits it. The series made us feel at ease and inspired for the year to come - we hope it does for you too!
Please continue to follow all government guidelines.
So glad my grandfather received 162 acres in Agassiz provincial forest for fighting in the war and past down the land to me. I keep it as pristine as possible and really enjoy being lost in nature. Natural berries and mushrooms, wood stove, pure well water, fresh air, all to enjoy while people cram into the tax hit cities and live in cramp quarters on top of each other just to have a cell phone and 5G radiation brain damage.... ;-)
I am now 75 having spent the first 12 years of my life in Manitoba when I moved with my younger sister to California. But, I still call Manitoba home and appreciate these videos.
I spent my first 16 years in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, before moving to Victoria, BC on Vancouver Island, but I also think of Manitoba as Home, wishing I'd known about all these places while I lived there. I'm now 60.
@@MatthewFordVictoria I am now 77 living in Tennessee, much warmer than Manitoba! Are you a Christian? I am a Seventh-day Adventist Christian.
I was a Christian, but I got mishandled by Gay Male Catholics who Loved Young Men. Leading a Boys Club and taking us Swimming, then joining us in the Showers and Picking One of us for some Private Special Treatment, and told it's a Sin to tell anyone. Ever wondered why Catholic Church Choirs are always just Boys? I've stayed away from religion since then.
And ALL of you left. Because MB is ugly.
@@voetbal12 It's OK to have the wrong opinion
I'm so enjoying these videos. they're awesome
Agreed, such a well done series!
Thank you…very interesting and educational….never knew First Nations tribes had no fighting zones. Flora and fauna quite unique also👍
these are quickly becoming my go to destinations for this year
Thanks. Sometimes i forget just how beautiful this province is
I remember going there for a field trip in grade 5! Was a awesome day.
That's my Home Province I love it. ❤
One of our favourite hiking spots in MB.
Great video on the Sandhills. I spent many times there as a teenager. Born and raised on a farm near Carberry. Beautiful place .
Very cool in my home Province!
Love these videos! Thanks for sharing
So interesting. I like these informative videos of Manitoba.
Thanks for these videos!
This series is FANTASTIC!!
Awesome!
Thank you
very well done and enjoyed this thumbs up shared
There are beautiful wooded areas as well. The longer hikes are well worth it, as long as the weather is less than 35 Celsius. Take lots of water!
Used to be able to dirt bike there in the 70s,after the military from Shiloh was done using it as a target for their howitzers. Found shell fragments,even an old bayonet there.
I like these videos but I wish they could be narrated without the music which is too loud and irritating.
Thanks to this awesome series, my wife & I just visited the spirit sands and devils punch bowl this past weekend and all I can say is that, IT WAS AMAZING
Ok calm down.
@@voetbal12 you really are a strange individual. Of that there is no doubt . I'd like to think your just some weird immature kid , but something tells me your older . Wow
3:00 Canada has more than 3 types of lizards, we have 6 known native species and 1 invasive species
I am continue this fall.
What will happen to all the critters that live in the sand dunes?
The flaw with the information, is the fact that all of Southern Manitoba flooded in 1820s. The thousands of years statement is false. Awesome place to dirtbike and sled.
Has anyone dove the devils punch bowl ?
I have
The Blue Bombers are the number 1 wonder
7 wonders? Thats a real stretch for the province that could only come up with 'friendly' as a motto
Manitoba would be GREAT. IF.....the pallisternians were PERMANENTLY REMOVED FROM IT.
And you can spell your enemies name as well. I think the biggest advantage for us would be if we could get rid of all the spectacularly unsophisticated ignorant specious reasoning mcarthyites who get used by just about anyone who can whisper a suggestion In their ear which since the beginning of civilization have been used to screw things up for the rest of us. The rat in the hat in other words. If you're such a type A dick swinger, go deal with it. A good man is a good man and that's where it's at. Try Saskatchewan maybe I think they offer an inbred tax benefit for those that qualify.
Looks amazing until you remember the bugs (mosquitoes) then I remember why I moved haha.
Two species of cacti? No... you don't say two species of sharks. It's two species of shark. After "of" it should be sungular, so brush up on both your English and Latin.
I appreciate them trying, but this place is dreadful. Spirit Sands is an ugly, pointless place but just somewhat interesting compared to the rest of MB.
karen troll
Your opinion = 💩
@@billhosko7723just a very odd individual is all . Really about the only way to say it .
It's a rich and varied microbiome that's almost unique in Canada. It's also a sacred site and a fossil of our geological past. What makes that pointless? Even just as a landscape the area is striking. Beautiful forests, rolling hills, some of the last grasslands on the continent, the Assiniboine valley. The area is splendid.
Not allowing natural forest and prairie fires to burn is what is speeding up the demise of this dune area. Important point overlooked.
The flaw with the information, is the fact that all of Southern Manitoba flooded in 1820s. The thousands of years statement is false. Awesome place to dirtbike and sled.
