    The Pas / OCN

    Discover the beautiful lakes and wildlife in The Pas / OCN.

    With big, beautiful lakes, expanses of untouched wildlife, and lots of local charm, The Pas and Opaskwayak Cree Nation (OCN) should be your next Northern Manitoba vacation destination.

    The town of The Pas and the Opaskwayak Cree Nation is a northern destination surrounded by wilderness and full of surprises. With plenty of outdoor adventure only a short drive away from the comforts and community of town, it's easy to get the best of both worlds.

    Summer in The Pas

    Spend a sunny day in the turquoise waters of Clearwater Lake, or a rainy day catching the latest blockbuster at the Lido, an historic cinema designed to look like a Spanish courtyard. Take a short hike through The Caves or browse a collection of oddities at the Sam Waller Museum. And if your day of fishing for lake trout and northern pike doesn't end in a shore lunch, you can grab something to eat or shop the main street at a local business in the town's downtown.

    Whether you're more comfortable in a canoe or a casino or a country club, The Pas/OCN will keep you busy.Located less 6.5 hours north of Winnipeg by road, an adventure in The Pas/OCN and the wilderness around is one of Manitoba's best-kept secrets. See for yourself this summer!
