Hiking Trails (Summer)

Hiking can be done almost anywhere, but the best scenery and terrain is in the provincial and national parks. These parks provide marked and mapped trails to avoid getting lost.

There are some good areas right around Saskatoon itself in any of the larger regional parks.

Cross Country Trails (Winter)
