A quick update on the trail conditions in the park.  We have not received enough snow from mother nature to set the x-country ski trails, but folks can still hike the trails.  As the temperature warms, I encourage everyone to enjoy the trails.  Please remember to keep your pets on their leash.  Snowshoes are available for rent from the administration office 306-837-2410. 

Educational programming will be provided at the park again this year.  Teachers and community groups can book programming online this year; Teachers & Educators | #SaskParks (tourismsaskatchewan.com).  Bookings will be accepted between Monday, January 15, 2024, and Tuesday, May 21, 2024, for programming dates between May 21 to June 21, 2024, on a first-come, first-served basis.  Bookings will close on May 21, 2024.  If you have any questions regarding educational programming, you can email outdoorclassroom@gov.sk.ca.

If you have any questions about any of the job opportunities or any other questions about the park, please feel free to give me a call.

Have a great day.
