The Forks
Nestled in the heart of downtown, The Forks is one of Winnipeg's most beloved places, at the junction of the Assiniboine and mighty Red rivers. It's been a meeting place for over 6,000 years. Early Aboriginal peoples traded at The Forks, followed by European fur traders, Métis buffalo hunters, Scottish settlers, riverboat workers, railway pioneers and tens of thousands of immigrants. Today, framed by the banks of the two rivers, The Forks is Winnipeg's number one tourist destination with more than four million visitors annually.
