Grand Valley Provincial Park is a Provincial Park in Manitoba's West parks group, listed by Manitoba Sustainable Development. The official Manitoba Park System Plan table lists Grand Valley Provincial Park in the West region with a Recreation classification, a size of 26.19 ha, and an establishment year of 1961.
The current official Manitoba Park System Plan page explains that the system plan guides overall management for provincial parks and park reserves, including park purposes, boundaries, classifications, and land use categories. The official classification is Recreation. The listed size is 26.19 ha. The table lists 1961 as the establishment year.
Grand Valley Provincial Park is worth researching through the system-plan record when the older source link points to the park system plan rather than a visitor-facing campground page. The official table gives the planning baseline: region, classification, size, establishment year, and the current system-plan PDF anchor.
That baseline is useful because a recreation park, natural park, wilderness park, heritage park, or park reserve should not be approached with the same assumptions. The classification helps determine whether to look next for camping services, map-based access, heritage context, protected-area rules, or more self-reliant travel planning.
Plan around recreation planning, map checks, access confirmation, and checking current facilities. Treat the system-plan listing as the official starting point, then confirm current public access, maps, permitted recreation, management-plan links, and visitor services before turning it into an itinerary.
Preserve the distinction between system-plan facts and visitor-service facts. Confirm current Manitoba Parks guidance, road or water access, maps, park reserve restrictions, camping availability, fees, advisories, fire rules, wildlife safety, and whether a management plan or visitor map applies before travelling.
