So many parks to make a great getaway. Find your perfect spot to enjoy activities like hiking, fishing, golfing, watersports, beach fun and more. 

Ask a local – “What is one of your favourite things about summer in Saskatchewan?” Chances are, the answer involves visiting a lake or beach. 

Saskatchewan is justifiably famous for having the most dazzling sunrises and sunsets on the planet, with the Land of Living Skies putting on a show practically anywhere we go.

In southeast Saskatchewan, beautiful forests and lakes, endless open skies, and unique sandstone and clay terrain are hidden beyond the flat landscape that surrounds the commonly driven Trans-Canada Highway 1.

Want to check out some of Saskatchewan’s most amazing landscapes but not expend a lot of effort getting there? Here are five of our favourite “bucket list” natural wonders from different parts of the province that are surprisingly easy to visit.  

Pristine lakes, beautiful sandy beaches, forested campgrounds and hiking trails abound. Spanning over 1,600 sq. km, Meadow Lake Provincial Park is one of the largest provincial parks in Canada. 

Gouged by ancient glacial meltwaters ages ago, and now stretching over halfway across the province, the beautiful river and valley provide a striking contrast to the plains immediately to the north and south.

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

We all have special places where we reconnect with nature, places where you can go to walk peacefully, observe plants and animals, and just really fill your bucket. For Nichole Huck, that place is the Turtle Lake Nature Sanctuary. 

The journey is always part of the adventure. Half of Saskatchewan's lodges are road-accessible. Drive-in lodges are an affordable option for those travelling with families or groups. Anglers are able to experience the remoteness of a fly-in lodge or fly-out lake without breaking the bank. 

Our fans have shared with us why they love Saskatchewan and some of their favourite places that makes Saskatchewan a perfect place to adventure off the main roads.
