The key to the ultimate outdoor vacation is at your fingertips when visiting this part of Saskatchewan. Many of the communities have fantastic golfing opportunities, great fishing spots, beautiful lakes and endless trails to explore. Watrous, a town 100 kilometres east of Saskatoon, is famous because of its proximity to Manitou Beach; north of Watrous a wonderful par 36, nine-hole golf course awaits.
Lakes, golf courses and parks surround Canora. In particular, Good Spirit Lake Resort has an 18-hole golf course, numerous walking trails, opportunities to fish for walleye and northern pike, and luxurious accommodation for the whole family. In addition to having great ATVing trails, Hudson Bay offers rewarding fishing.
To test your luck, head to the town of Hudson Bay for the Hudson Bay Lions Club Fishing Derby at Parr Hill Lake on June 7. Entry is $50 per fisherman, with the grand prize of $1,000 (minimum) being awarded for the longest jackfish caught.
However, if no fish are caught throughout the day, the Lions Club will donate the allocated prize money to a charity. Most known for being the oil can capital of the world, Rocanville—a community 20 kilometres west of the Manitoba border—is alive with sporting events, recreational activities and excellent campgrounds.
