Great trail 15 minutes outside of Saskatoon. Perfect spot to go for a walk and enjoy sunsets. There is also a fascinating scientific excursions for children and explorers where a guide tells you about local SK nature and its inhabitants. Good for both summer and winter walks, but make sure to have enough mosquito repellent in summer.

With the First Nations taking over many parts of government it’s is important to learn their history as a part of Canadian tapestry. It is a historic spot for bison hunt and a traditional meeting place. There are also souvenirs for sale to take home alongside the aboriginal art exhibits. A must visit point on an educational Prairie tour.

In fairly close proximity to Saskatoon, Pike Lake is a great place to spend a sunny summer day. If you have a kayak or canoe, it is ideal, or enjoy camping or the pool on site.
