Its path is intersected by some Winnipeg streets. It is named for the Harte Line, the first section of Grand Trunk Pacific Railway which was built in western Canada in 1894.
Lagimodière-Gaboury Park
Lagimodiere Gaboury Park is a popular destination for Winnipegers and tourists alike. Located on the Siene River and Red River, the Park is famous for its Lagimodiere Gaboury historic gate.
