About Falcon Trails Resort
Since 1996, this family-run resort in the Whiteshell Provincial Park has been welcoming guests year round to enjoy private cabins, magnificent views, friendly people and the beauty of the Boreal Forest and Precambrian Shield. It is a perfect mix of wilderness and rustic luxury.
Picture yourself in one of our 13 cabins overlooking the southern shores of Falcon Lake. Enjoy an evening in a private hot tub, snuggle up by a wood-burning fireplace, canoe on calm waters, hike to ‘top of the world’ for a breathtaking view, or experience absolute solitude at one of our award winning remote High Lake cabins.
Complimentary canoes and cross country skis provided!
Love the earth while you vacation at Falcon Trails where our policy is to minimize human impact on the environment while we enjoy – and sustain – the great outdoors.
Craig, Barb and their daughters – Emily, Caleigh and Brooke – and the Falcon Trails team look forward to welcoming you to our amazingly accessible bit of Canadian paradise just two hours east of Winnipeg.

Environmental Policy
Falcon Trails celebrates the unique location of the resort by embracing a progressive environmental ethic.
The following initiatives are a few ways that Falcon Trails works together with our guests to minimize our impact:
- All Natural Cleaning Products: we use non-toxic, biodegradable cleaning products to maintain all our Falcon Trails and High Lake cabins.
- Well-insulated cabin design to save heating energy
- Passive solar lighting utilizing large windows on the southern wall.
- Cold-water washing with phosphate-free detergent for all laundry.
- Composting and recycling program to minimize household waste.
- Naturally focused landscaping embracing the local habitat.
- Native plant garden.
At the High Lake Eco Cabins – winner of the Tourism Manitoba Eco Tourism award in 2003 – we have implemented a number of steps to sustain the pristine lake and environment:
- Built using largely reclaimed or local materials
- ‘Remote Access’ to avoid habitat destruction and to promote sustainable transport alternatives (walking, running, biking, cross country skiing)
- Solar-powered electricity.
- Gravity-fed water supply.
- State-of-the art composting toilets
Falcon Trails pursues these efforts to respect and sustain our environment for ourselves and future generations to live, work and play. We’d love to hear from you if you have any comments or suggestions on how we can further reduce our ecological footprint.

Our History
Falcon Trails Resort was started in 1996 by three couples: Barb Hamilton and Craig Christie, Rich and Lois Pettit and Mike and Yuki Vlasman. The area has played host to a operational government-run ski hill since 1959. When the government made plans to close the ski hill down in the mid-90's, the three couples put together a proposal to develop rental cabins in order to bring the area and the ski hill back to life. The cabins were all lovingly designed and built by the owners themselves.
Over the years the resort has expanded and evolved, but remained true to the original mandate of creating a resort which is focused on providing a nature infused get-away for all walks of life. Today, Barb and Craig are the last remaining owners of the resort, Who run the show with their three daughters; Emily, Caleigh, and Brooke.
