Manuels River - Registered Charity

This place is hella underrated. Less than 20 minutes to drive here from the capital city. It's only a 15 minute hike to see the waterfall and you can go swimming ! Manuels river > sunshine park any day.

This facility is the heart of CBS, built in the most scenic area of the town, maneuls river. The center is surrounded by beautiful wildwrness, an amazing walking trail that I have walked for 30 years! The new addition of wheelchair accessible trails makes this a wonderful place for anyone to visit. The center itself is very nice, perfect wedding or event venue, classy and clean. We often go for lunch or coffee at the cafe and the staff are very friendly and quick!

Nice hiking trail. You can jump on rocks in the water and there are a bunch of hidden trails you can explore. Very refreshing. There are picnic tables located halfway through the main trail so you can stop and have a bite of food if you've brought any. There is a main building with washrooms and souvenir shop and other features.

Beautiful spot! Water. Was just right! Nice trails.

Always clean and many spots to stop and dip your feet in the water or go for a swim. Smooth flats rocks everywhere make it ideal for sunbathing too!

We have visited the Manuels River Experience building several times, lots of fun and learning to be had!Recently we took our kids to check out the popular swimming spot on the Manuel's River. (You can go basically anywhere on the river). We walked about 15 minutes-up to the bridge, thinking we might find a good spot to suit our 3 & 11 year olds. Eventhough we had a few good little places to play along the waters edge, which had very little movement. It was still lots of worry with a small child who loves the water. Make sure you have something on your feet. Water shoes highly recommend. My kids loved it, but I'm not in a hurry to take my 3 year old back.. if so maybe we will try a different place. If you are up for an adventure this may be the thing. Beautiful trail along the river , great for biking, hiking or walking.. with lots of places and tables along the way to stop for a picnic:)

Very informative for a younger crowd. Good spot to eat for lunch, great price for the food quality. Walking trails are fantastic and very well maintained.

Trails are of different difficulties and are well taken care of. All trails are very scenic and have alot of benches and places to rest. Paths well marked.Trail going towards the shore is a very easy walk. Surface is very flat and groomed.Trail behind the centre is a bit rougher.Rocky and unlevel in places .Places to swim all along the river.A wonderful place to spend a day.Tours are offered for fossil section and nature.

We were there on a field trip with Grade 1 students. The staff were fabulous and the facility is beautiful with very informative and interesting displays. The students learned a great deal about plants inside and also outside on the trails led by Justin.

They have been working very hard to upgrade and maintain the trails. We love going for walks here during the warmer months, and snow shoeing here in the winter.Great views along parts of the trail of the river.Kids like to swim in the river in the Summer, on both sides.
