When it comes to golf, there’s something special about pulling up to the first tee box and looking down a groomed fairway surrounded by tall trees (or wide-open prairie) and clear blue sky.

Located right on Nipawin’s main street, The Dam Smokehouse serves up classic barbecue eats in a warm, laid-back setting.

With phenomenal birdlife and easy access to several wildlife hotspots, there’s no better place than Saskatchewan to enjoy these springtime spectacles. 

Whether it’s a staycation at a local hotel, enjoying takeout from an independently owned restaurant, shopping at a locally owned boutique or experiencing an adventure in your own backyard, there’s never been a better time to discover what’s right in front of you.
