Blackstrap Provincial Park
A long, narrow lake park about 40 kilometres south of the city, where a man-made ski hill offers views over the prairie and a range of summer water activities.
Blackstrap Provincial Park lies about 40 kilometres southeast of Saskatoon, around the long, narrow Blackstrap Lake. Its most distinctive feature is a man-made ski hill built for the 1971 Canada Winter Games, and from the top you can look out over the flat prairie and the lake. In summer, you can swim, boat, fish and camp, while in winter there are snowshoeing and ice fishing. Facilities are fairly simple, making it suitable for visitors who want to avoid the crowds.
