The Spirit Sands are Manitoba's only area of active sand dunes. The 6 km Spirit Sands Self-guiding Trail leads visitors up and into the dunes, with on-site interpretive signs presenting the cultural and natural history of the area.

The Devils Punch Bowl Hiking Trail is a 9 km round trip leading to intriguing landforms caused by underground streams and collapsing sand slopes, along with excellent views of the Assiniboine River Valley.

Caution: The Spirit Sands is a former National Defense Range. Do not touch suspicious objects. Report any unusual object you may find to the campground office.
