Thompson Travel Guide
Map
Welcome to Thompson!
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.Tourist Attractions
