Car Rental Saskatchewan - Exploring Saskatchewan

Tourists who stop to explore this area will find Saskatchewan to be a well-kept secret. There are several great historical parks offering hands-on experience of the Native Indian way of life. The Qu'Appelle Valley is a giant playground with beautiful resort villages, golf courses and provincial parks. The Athabasca Sand Dunes are among the most northerly major sand dunes in the world.

Canoeing, hiking, horseback riding, bird-watching and fishing are popular pastimes throughout the province. If that sounds too strenuous, spend a lazy day at the beach or treat yourself to a pampering at one of Canada’s top mineral spas at Manitou Spring Resort.

Grasslands National Park is made up of two pockets of mixed grass prairie on the Montana/Saskatchewan border. The park also preserves the Killdeer Badlands and some spectacular sections of the Frenchman River Valley. The park features large prairie dog towns and other prairie wildlife, and represents the area Chief Sitting Bull came to after decimating the US cavalry at the Battle of the Little Big Horn in 1876.

Prince Albert National Park is one of Saskatchewan's most popular four-season destinations and marks the geographical centre of the province, where the aspen parkland of the south meets the boreal forests and lakes of the north. There are some wonderful walks and canoe routes here, even though the park's tourist village, Waskesiu Lake, is rather commercialized.

Canoeing opportunities are excellent in northern Saskatchewan, with more than 50 mapped canoe routes. This area is ranked as one of the great adventure destinations. The Churchill River rages across Saskatchewan, providing canoeists with some of the most exhilarating white-water around.

With over 250 courses, golf can be played throughout the province. The diverse terrain throughout Saskatchewan provides challenging courses in attractive locations.
