OCTOBER, NOVEMBER and DECEMBER 
The area is acclaimed for being the best grain and cattle producing area in Manitoba. In fact, Inglis was known as the “Barley Capital of Manitoba”. This has entrenched agriculture as the dominant industry.
The area also boasts the scenic Assiniboine River Valley and the Shell River Valley which joins at the Shellmouth Dam to form the Lake of the Prairies, creating the setting for the Asessippi Provincial Park. Asessippi Beach and Campground is located along PTH #83 at the junction of the Bear Creek Valley and the Shell River Valley. These valleys provide an abundance of recreational activities which include a world-class downhill ski facility – Asessippi Ski Area and Winter Park, and cross country ski trails – Rivendell X-Country Ski Trails. These parks also include camping, swimming and picnic areas, horseshoe pits, volleyball courts, ball diamonds, and playgrounds.
