Description
Made up of more than just prairies (though these do make up the soul of the province), Saskatchewan offers a plethora of outdoor adventure opportunities. Long distance canoe trips on the Saskatchewan’s mighty northern rivers, unlimited fishing options in the many lakes that dot the landscape, a well-established network of ATV and snowmobile trails and some of the best white-tailed deer hunting you can find anywhere are just a few of the attractions that draw outdoor explorers to Saskatchewan. Add to this the sweeping views, wide-open skies and unique geographical features such as the Athabasca Sand Dunes and the Cypress Hills, and you should be asking yourself why you have not yet visited this Canadian jewel (unless, of course, you already have). Luckily, the newest edition of our Saskatchewan Backroad Mapbook has everything you need to know about exploring beautiful Saskatchewan, complete with our industry-leading topographic maps and meticulously researched adventure listings.
