Hiking

Saskatchewan's provincial parks are home to a multitude of trails and paths, from interpretive trails that tell of the historical and environmental significance of the area to accessible pathways that wind along the water's edge. Take a hike on a backcountry trail or gather the family for a relaxing walk to some of the province's most scenic locations.

Top 10 Tips for Trail Users

Consult the ten outdoor essentials and carry all necessary gear.

Avoid hiking alone whenever possible.
Choose a trail that fits your abilities. Prepare for steep and/or uneven terrain.
