Start with Nopiming.
Tulabi Falls is part of Nopiming Provincial Park in eastern Manitoba. Use the official park page for directions and notices, then the Tulabi Falls campground map to understand the area around the falls.
Manitoba Parks’ directions from Winnipeg follow PTH 59, PTH 44, PTH 11, PR 313, and PR 315 toward Bird Lake at the park’s southern end. Confirm your destination and the final approach on the park maps before setting out. The park’s quoted travel distance is not a precise driveway-to-falls measurement.
Parking and finding the falls.
Download the official campground map before leaving. The map marks parking near the falls, beach, and yurt area, with the campground entrance off PR 315. Follow signs on arrival and keep access roads and campsite entrances clear. Use the marked walking route to the viewpoints.
What does a visit cost?
Manitoba Parks lists these regular 2026 vehicle permit prices, including GST. A vehicle permit covers park entry; campsite and yurt charges are separate.
| Permit | Price | Valid for |
|---|---|---|
| Daily | $9.50 | Until midnight on the selected date |
| Casual | $16.50 | Three consecutive days |
| Annual | $44.50 | Until April 30, 2027 |
Buy and print your permit before driving out, and display it in your windshield. Walking or cycling into the park does not require a vehicle permit. Check the official fees page for current prices and free-entry periods.
Facilities and things to do.
The provincial brochure describes a beach on Bird Lake, the falls trail, and paddling opportunities on Tulabi Lake and the Elbow Lake route. The map also marks picnic areas, a playground, non-modern washrooms, and a trailer sanitary station. Bring drinking water and confirm which facilities are operating for your dates.
When should you visit?
The province’s 2026 operating schedule lists Tulabi Falls campsites and yurts from May 15 to October 12, with reservations through October 11. These are campground dates, not a promise of year-round day-use access. Services may be reduced after Labour Day and weather can change the schedule. Check park notices before an autumn or off-season trip.
Build a flexible day plan.
Give yourself enough time for the drive, a look around the falls, and the return trip. Choose a manageable visit rather than filling the schedule with stops you have not checked. If you are adding a trail, campground, or paddling outing, confirm that specific area’s access separately.
- Check the park notices. Read current closures and recovery updates before travelling.
- Review the road information. Use Manitoba 511 and save the maps you need.
- Confirm permits. Check Manitoba Parks vehicle permit information for your visit.
- Pack for the outing. Bring drinking water, layers, suitable footwear, and a way to keep your essentials dry.
- Plan your return. Tell someone your destination and expected return time.
Take your time near the water.
Choose established visitor areas and follow signs or barriers on site. Keep your photography plans on accessible ground, with space to step back from the water. The photographs here show the falls at one moment; water levels and conditions can be different when you visit.
Bring a camera, leave room to look.
The movement of the water and the shape of the granite give you plenty to notice without making a long itinerary. Try a wider view of the setting, then a closer composition from a safe position. Keep paths clear for other visitors and bring your litter back with you.
Turn the day into a weekend.
If you want to stay, use our Tulabi Falls camping guide to find the reservation service and campground map. For another destination in the park, explore the Booster Lake guide.
