Assiniboine River skating trail closes for season
Joggers Jim Baker,left, and Quentin MacCharles check out the The River Trail on the Assiniboine River now closed for the season.
The Assiniboine River portion of the skating trail has closed for the year.
Paul Jordan, chief operating officers for The Forks, confirmed the news this morning, adding the Red River trail will remain open for the time being.
"We’re getting all our stuff off (the Assiniboine) and shutting it down," he said.
When the Red River trail and Forks port will close, however, will be entirely weather-dependant, Jordan added.
"We’re hoping to get a good week out of the Red River."
