St. Adolphe, or Saint Adolphe, originally called Pointe-Coupée, is a community in the Rural Municipality of Ritchot, Manitoba, Canada. It is located along the east bank of the Red River, approximately 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) south of Winnipeg.
It was named after Adolphe Turner, who made a large donation to the local church.[6][7] St. Adolphe is notable for being home to the world's largest snow maze.[8] The community is surrounded by a dike as a result of several devastating floods, it was raised to levels above the 1997 Red River flood, which was the last major flood to inundate the town and area.[9]
