The province said the risk of fires is high to extreme across the province.

"There are drought conditions across much of southern Manitoba, which can allow wildfires to spread out of control quickly and challenge the ability to fight multiple fires at the same time," the province said in a fire bulletin released Thursday.

"Human-caused fires are preventable and put people and communities unnecessarily at risk."

The province is putting level two restrictions across much of the province, which bans motorized backcountry travel unless with a travel permit, prohibits campfires, restricts camping to developed campgrounds, and restricts landing and launching to developed shorelines only.

Along with this, the province is closing all backcountry trails and water routes to the public in all provincial parks south of the 53rd parallel until further notice. The province said some trails in developed front-country campgrounds and townsites are open for pedestrians.

The Toniata seasonal campground in the Whiteshell Provincial Park along with the Equestrian and Canoe Landing campgrounds in Spruce Woods Provincial Park have been closed.

The level two fire and travel restrictions are in place in the Mars Hill and Lauder Sandhills Wildlife Management, and all provincial parks south of the 53rd parallel, which includes all provincial parks south of Grand Rapids and Easterville.

The province said the restrictions are also in place in the following areas:
