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.
