          BOOK NOW
          ​Fort Carlton was an important hub for the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) from 1810 - 1885. Located on the North Saskatchewan River and with easy access by land, this site was an ideal place to warehouse goods and gather provisions for other posts. An important negotiation site for Treaty Six in 1876, Fort Carlton was accidently burned down during a hasty evacuation that took place during the Northwest Resistance of 1885.
           
          Today, Fort Carlton Provincial Historic Park features a reconstructed palisade, fur and provisions store, trade store, clerk's quarters and tipi encampment. Visitors can see, touch and smell artifacts such as bison hides, beaver pelts and more. Interpretive staff are on hand to answer questions and lead activities. The park also features hiking trails, a picnic area and small, rustic campground with reservable sites. Nearby Pêmiska Lodges provide overnight glamping for visitors to the park along with cultural and adventure packages.

          Batoche National Historic Site

          Batoche

          Indigenous, National Historic Site, Museum, Heritage Site / Village, RCMP / Military, Archives / Library

          May 21 to Sep 27.
          While visiting the Batoche​ National Historic Site, guests may hear the call of the red-tailed hawks swooping overhead or watch for white-tailed deer bounding along the river banks. Imagine the life of the Métis who lived here by the meandering South Saskatchewan River. Spend time on the smallholding feeding the chickens and pumping water by hand. Check out the bullet holes in the rectory walls and picture the devastation bought about by the Battle of 1885: General Middleton’s North West Field Force facing off against the Métis led by Louis Riel and Gabriel Dumont. Feel a connection to the recent past as you explore the rifle pits and read the names on the stones at the cemetery. Knowledgeable staff in period costume are available to answer any questions and guide visitors at different locations found on site. Hitch a ride on the Batoche Shuttle and visit the East Village overlooking the river and Carlton Trail, and explore the ruins. Listen to the trembling aspens and follow the bends of the South Saskatchewan River on Li pchi shmayn hiking trail. Follow Batoche on Facebook and Twitter at #BatocheNHS.​
           
          Plan ahead and check the Parks Canada website for the most up-to-date information on hours of operation and what to expect when you arrive.​

          Louis Riel Trail | Hwy 11 - Regina to Prince Albert

          Saskatoon

          Public Trails, Curiosity / Roadside Attraction

          In 2001, Saskatchewan's Hwy 11 was renamed the 'Louis Riel Trail' in honour of Louis Riel, who led the 1885 Northwest Resistance and was executed in Regina for his participation in the uprising. This 364-km long trail features distinctive trail markers, beautiful outdoor sculptures created by Don Wilkins of Girvin and points of interest that are designed to raise awareness about this historic event and its significance on Saskatchewan and Canada.

          The trail runs from the Qu'Appelle Valley in southern Saskatchewan to south of Prince Albert in northern Saskatchewan. Hiking, snowmobile and cross-country ski trails are also available just south of Prince Albert near the Boreal Nisbet Forest.

          Several stops along the Louis Riel Trail are designed to raise awareness about the 1885 Northwest Resistance, particularly the Batoche National Historic Site, Fort Carlton Provincial Park and the Duck Lake Regional Interpretive Centre. Events are also held throughout the year in various communities along with a trial to commemorate the uprising and Louis Riel's contributions to the event and the Metis population of Saskatchewan.

          Duck Lake

          Public Trails, Winter Activities

          Trail is named in honour of the trail’s founder and long-time member of the Saskatoon Nordic Ski Club, Eberhard Fass. The system of single and double track trails covering over 50 km was developed by Eb starting in 1976. It is maintained and groomed by the Saskatoon Nordic Ski Club and used by members and the public at no charge; however, donations to the club are appreciated. The trails are perfect for cross-country skiers of every age and skill level, and there are back-country trails with difficult terrain for expert skiers.

          The trails, located just north of Duck Lake on Hwy 11, run through a forested area, providing spectacular scenery for your journey. Warm-up shelters, with outhouses, are located at each of the two entrances to the trails on the west side of the highway. Markers are posted throughout the trails to make it easier for skiers to navigate.

          Eb's trails are open for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in winter, and for hiking in summer only.

          Please note that dogs are not allowed on trails during the winter.
