Beaver Creek Conservation Area
A river valley conservation area south of the city, with native prairie, creekside trails and viewpoints over the South Saskatchewan River.
Beaver Creek Conservation Area is managed by the Meewasin Valley Authority and lies about 13 kilometres south of the city along Highway 219. It protects native prairie and valley woodland where Beaver Creek joins the South Saskatchewan River. Several loop trails of 1 to 4 kilometres offer views of native prairie plants, beaver dams and birds, as well as lookouts over the river. The nature centre has a small exhibition, admission is free (donations welcome), and it is a good spot for a half-day easy hike.
