The
R.M. is close to two provincial parks; Whiteshell and Birds Hill.
Within the R.M. are the Brokenhead River Park, Tyndall Park and the
Brokenhead Community Centre. Both Tyndall and Beausejour have
curling rinks. Residents of Brokenhead also have access to all
amenities in the Town of Beausejour.
There are two forest reserve areas in the R.M. The Mars Hills
Forest Reserve covers some 5,000 acres and the Brokenhead Ecological
Reserve protects some 100 acres of first growth hardwood – oak, elm,
ash and spruce. Also located within the R.M. is the scenic 18-hole
Mars Hills Course.
A local snowmobile club dubbed the Brokenhead Trailblazers operates
out of the Mars Hills area. The club maintains a groomed snowmobile
trail, which is part of the Can-Am Trail, providing a continuous
route from North Eastern Manitoba to the U.S.
