Thompson at a Glance
Buried deep in the Canadian Shield and the northern Canadian boreal forest is
the city of Thompson located 739 km (459 mi) north of Winnipeg.
Known as the hub of Northern
Manitoba, Thompson acts as the central trade and service mecca for the region.
Isolation coupled with boundless surrounding wilderness creates a unique outdoor
experience for locals and visitors alike in Thompson. To the south is the Paint
Lake Provincial Recreational Park which envelopes Manitoba's largest marina.
Even further south are the majestic Pisew
Falls, Manitoba's highest waterfall accessible by road. There is a golf course
in town and also a river air-base where planes can be chartered to reach some
of the more remote parts of the province. Mystery
Mountain Winter Park hosts the town's downhill skiing, snowboarding, and cross
country skiing facilities. Snowmobiling is another popular activity around Thompson,
boasting more than 200 groomed trails.
