The name Saskatchewan comes from the Cree word "kisiskatchewanisipi" which means "swift flowing river."

The Province of Saskatchewan is situated in the Canadian West. Half the province is covered by forest, one-third is improved farmland in the southern Great Plains and parklands, and one-eighth is fresh water, mostly in northern region. Saskatchewan has an impressive variety of colour and landscape ventures in the heart of Canada. This land of 100,000 lakes and rivers provides an abundance of outdoor activities, be it water recreation or walking tours which is an enjoyable way to explore. Campgrounds and RV Parks offer a variety of amenities, finding just the right spot masked in prairie coulees, among rippling creeks and still lakes. Just the right place to get in touch with Canada's wildlife, listen to the howl of a wolf on a quiet northern night, a lone antelope leaping across the grasslands, the awesome spectacle of fall migration filling the skies with hundreds of geese.

Horseback tours and cowboy adventures thrive in the south and central grasslands. Packages offer everything from trail rides, to horse-drawn wagon treks and authentic ranch vacations. Horseback riding in Saskatchewan is a way of life. Be part of a genuine adventure, choosing your own path as you explore unspoiled terrain and experience the traditional cowboy lifestyle. Guided horseback trips take you through some of our province’s most scenic backcountry in settings that change from rolling, grass-covered hills and coulees to the lush aspen and boreal forests further north. Abundant wildlife viewing opportunities perhaps even with a horse-drawn wagon. At some guest ranches, you can even participate in a cattle drive, with licensed outfitters offering everything from world-class lodges to rustic cabins. Truly a memorable experience. Discover a real winter wilderness experience, with never-ending acres of open land. Among 10,000 kilometres of groomed snowmobiling trails that span throughout the province. A wintry excursion is as infinite as the people are warm and gracious.
Hike through a forest on a misty morning, horseback ride across the open range, spend a quiet day at the beach or even fly over picturesque lakes to renowned fishing camps. An ideal adventure experience awaits you; get pleasure from every moment, when in Saskatchewan.
