February 2025 Economic Development Update:
With Sunrise Corner’s diverse prairies, forests and wetlands, there are significant opportunities within the Outdoor Recreation & Tourism sector for investment, business growth and program development.
At the southeast tip of the Canadian prairie is Sunrise Corner. We are a region defined by rippling sandhills, dense forests, and scenic tall-grass prairies that blend together to create authentic outdoor recreation and tourism experiences. With nearby urban markets seeking outdoor adventures, we are proactively reaching out to interested parties to expand our tourism and recreation amenities.
Why is Sunrise Corner an incredible place to invest in recreation and tourism?
Nature’s Tranquil Beauty. Sunrise Corner is the picture-perfect destination for embracing the peace and quiet of the great outdoors through hiking, biking, paddling, horseback riding, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, birding, geocaching, camping, hunting, fishing, foraging and more.
Trail Adventures. Sunrise Corner is known as a go-to location for the adrenaline rush of world-class groomed trails for motorized sports in both winter and summer, spanning a variety of unique landscapes.
Vibrant Arts, Culture, and Community. Sunrise Corner communities proudly share their unique stories and rich heritage through memorable public events and festivals. Local history and culture are showcased in two unique museums in Gardenton and Sprague.
Four Unique Differentiators. Sunrise Corner proudly claims four distinctive factors that give the region a competitive advantage.
- With one of the largest swaths of tall-grass prairie left in North America, Sunrise Corner is home to an endangered habitat of species found almost nowhere else on the planet.
- Embraced by the vast Sandilands Provincial Forest, Sunrise Corner enjoys thousands of acres of sand hills, forests, and wetlands on sparsely populated crown lands.
- Sunrise Corner benefits from three land border port of entries from the United States: Sprague-Warroad (24-hour), South Junction-Roseau, and Piney-Pinecreek.
- Sunrise Corner is minutes away from Buffalo Point and Birch Point, the only two access points to Lake of the Woods in Manitoba.
