Clark's Crossing is a guest house on our farm, at historic river crossing on the Assiniboine River.   When you stay here, you get the whole place and the view of the river to yourselves.   Jack Clarkson, who paddled the entire Assiniboine, from the Qu'Appelle River in Saskatchewan wrote about this area in his book, "Around the Next Bend".  He said that between here and Sprucewoods Park (a little-known heritage canoe route) is the most beautiful place for canoeing in the entire province, and he has paddled all the best-known places.  A hearty continental breakfast made using honey from our farm awaits you in the morning.  This guest house sleeps up to six people.  The Canadian-made wool duvets keep you comfortable at night on our high-quality, new mattresses.  The rustic décor, antiques and woodstove are complemented by the modern conveniences of a full kitchen, microwave, airconditioning, BBQ and large deck.    Your host, Sheila Clark, grew up right here, where her ancestors were among the first settlers.  She loves to talk about the history of the prairies, gardening, cooking, birds, wildflowers and all things big and small, including bees.   Beekeeping has been in the Clark family for generations and the apiary is now run by Ray and Sheila.   She hopes to meet many others who share the same interests by running a B&B on the farm.  Clark's Crossing is just 40 minutes southeast off Brandon or west of Spruce Woods Park.   Go 20 minutes drive to Shilo or Wawanesa where you can find restaurants, banking, medical clinics and convenience stores.  You can enjoy private trails for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, biking and hiking.  Groomed snowmobile trails meet here and carry on for many many miles in all directions.    Your hosts and their happy little family will be sure you enjoy your stay.  Clark's Crossing is where the snow stays white and the stars shine bright.
