Manitobans will be able to return to parts of Whiteshell Provincial Park as some closures have been lifted.
Ken Pickering with the Whiteshell Cottagers Association said as of Wednesday at 9 a.m. closures will end for south Whiteshell, Falcon Lake and Barren Lake, as well as some areas in the north. All other areas, including Pointe du Bois, remain closed.
'There's still some risks that Manitoba Wildfire Services need to get a handle on,' he said.
Pickering added Whiteshell campgrounds, including seasonal camping trails and backcountry areas, remain closed.
