Saskatchewan Provincial Parks are ready to welcome visitors for a new season of outdoor fun with prepped campsites, well-maintained trails and an exciting lineup of events and programs.
"We are so excited to welcome visitors back to our provincial parks this summer, as Sask Parks kicks off an exciting season of events, activities and new amenities for every type of camper to explore," Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Laura Ross said. "We are proud of the work done to continue providing an accessible, and affordable, destination for residents and visitors alike. Saskatchewan's parks are the perfect place to relax, connect with loved ones and experience the health benefits of spending time outdoors."
Visitors can participate in new programming and events that will keep them entertained throughout their stay. Families can also take advantage of free, self-use Discovery Packs filled with fun crafts and activities, found around the province and available for checkout.
New this year, visitors will receive a reminder email 72 hours before check-in, highlighting the curated programming and events for the duration of their stay, to not miss a moment of the action.
The first event of the season is Back in the Boreal, which kicks off June 1 on National Trails Day. Visitors can join Park Interpreters in Meadow Lake Provincial Park for a day of exploration and learning as they participate in a 10-kilometre guided interpretive hike on the New Branch Loop of the Boreal Trail. Learn more and register.
