Saskatchewan residents can enjoy an exciting winter season in provincial parks with a wide range of winter events and activities. From snowshoeing to ice skating to cross-country skiing, Sask Parks has so much to offer in this magical season.
"Winter is a big part of our life in Saskatchewan and our goal is to make this season one to remember," Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Alana Ross said. "There are many unique experiences and fun outdoor adventures that will make our Provincial Parks a thrilling destination this winter."
Until March 16, visitors can stay in a Camp-Easy yurt and get a front-row seat to all the exciting winter activities Sask Parks has this season. Exclusively in Echo Valley Provincial Park this winter, there are three propane-heated yurts that sleep up to six people each. Guests can relax with the comfort of a queen bed while still being immersed in nature. Guests are advised to bring proper winter clothing. Yurts are heated, though not fully insulated.
Many parks also have walk-in winter camping available until March 16. While these sites do not require a reservation, visitors are encouraged to call the park beforehand to check on availability, local weather conditions and to reserve a campsite in advance.
Provincial parks open for walk-in camping:
Whether visitors are heading to the park for the day or for a couple of nights, there are plenty of winter activities to experience, including snowshoeing, cross-country skiing or tobogganing. Various parks will offer ice fishing and ice skating, as well as snowshoe and cross-country ski rentals throughout the winter.
Local in-park businesses also offer a variety of exciting opportunities, including restaurants and quick eats, unique accommodations, saunas and more.
