Riding Mountain National Park is a national park in Manitoba, Canada. The park sits atop the highest part of the Manitoba Escarpment (also known as the Pembina Escarpment). Consisting of a protected area 1,148 sq mi (2,973 km²), the forested parkland stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding prairie farmland. The park is most easily reached by Highway 10 which passes through the park. The south entrance is at the townsite of Wasagaming, which is the only commercial centre within the park boundaries.
The park was first protected in 1929 and had much of its public infrastructure created during the 1930s by labourers participating in Canada's Great Depression relief programs. Much of this early construction survives to this day.
During World War II it was home to a Prisoner of War camp which has since been dismantled.
