Riding Mountain National Park in Wasagaming, Manitoba offers two NACS/Tesla ports and one J1772 port. The price is right and the setting, at the edge of a townsite surrounded by boreal forest and bison range, is about as good as it gets for a charge stop. The nearest DC fast charging is in Dauphin, about 33 miles away, with FLO stations. Beyond that, the next option is Neepawa, roughly 36 miles out, with FLO. Riding Mountain sits on the Manitoba Escarpment, a world away from the prairie flatlands below, and the drive in from any direction is part of the experience.
