Information is available on local activities and attractions, as well as maps and assistance for those travelling across Canada, the northern mid-western United States, or other areas in Manitoba.
The Tourist Bureau is pleased to be open all year round to help visitors in Portage or those just passing through!

Portage is also home to Island Park! The park is located on an 'island' that is nearly surrounded by an old oxbow of the Assiniboine River. The park is home to a duck pond, playground, walking paths, picnic tables, an arboretum, and a deer pen.
In addition Island Park is home to Splash Island Waterpark and the newly finished PCU Center a state of the art multiplex including two arenas, a pool, running track, and fitness center. Both of these facilities are run by the Portage Regional Recreation Authority an organization that provides fitness and recreation programs to the City of Portage and surrounding area.
