Contact / Registration: 

Kevin & Anita Miller -- register at k.a.miller@mts.net  The deadline to register for this activity isn't until June 8.
The 49 registered people have reserved campsites. There are still 6 campsites available.
19 people will be attending their first Grey Hares camping trip, 11 of whom joined Grey Hares within the past few months.

This year's follow-up to the successes of car-camping / day-paddling / day-hiking  trips at Rushing River in 2022 (24 Grey Hares), Caddy Lake in 2023 (32 Grey Hares), and Black Lake in 2024 (31 Grey Hares) is a car-camping / day-paddling / day-hiking trip at Tulabi Falls in Nopiming Provincial Park from Monday June 9 to Thursday June 12 (4 days / 3  nights).  Grey Hares last camped / paddled / hiked at Tulabi Falls in 2018; here are some photos.

The Tulabi Falls Campground has 36 campsites and 6 yurts. It has vault toilets. It does not have a showers building. It also does not have potable water, so we will have to bring our own for drinking and washing. The nightly camping fee is $11.55 or $15.75 (electric) per night per site.  Campsite reservations open on Friday April 11 at 7:00 AM.  In early April we will initiate a discussion about campsites with everyone who has registered, so everyone has the opportunity to share a site with someone, and everyone knows which part of the campground they should try to reserve their site (etc). 

A Manitoba Provincial Park Vehicle Permit is not required in 2025.

A beach is located at the edge of the campground. It is a perfect canoe and kayak launch into Bird Lake / Bird River, which is downstream from Tulabi Falls.
There is also a nice launch spot into Tulabi Lake / Bird River. It is located just upstream from Tulabi Falls.

Key features of almost all Grey Hares camping trips include carpooling, sharing of campsites, canoe partnering, and cooperative suppers at Grey Hares' Eureka Northern Breeze screen tent.

Paddling and hiking activities include:

  • Paddle Tulabi Lake and Bird River upstream.
  • Paddle Bird Lake and Bird River downstream.
  • Hike the moderately challenging Tulabi Falls Trail. It is only 500 metres out + 500 metres back, but very scenic along/above Tulabi Lake. The trailhead is in the campground.
  • Hike Granite Groove Out on Thursday on our way back to Winnipeg.
