Outdoor Activities in Saskatoon

It’s impossible to resist the call of the great outdoors in a place like Saskatoon — a vibrant city on the doorstep of wide-open spaces and awe-inspiring natural beauty. 

Spend the warmer months exploring more than 1,000 hectares of parkland; brush up on your game with a round of golf; or take to the South Saskatchewan River on an aquatic adventure.

The outdoor fun doesn’t stop when the temperature starts to drop. Strap on a pair of snowshoes and traverse the snowy landscape; hop on a kick sled and glide your way along pristine riverside trails; or lace up your skates and hit the ice. Around here, there’s a world of outdoor adventure just waiting to be discovered all year round.
