Recreation and
Places to Visit
Water
sports, fishing and hunting are among the
most popular recreational activities in Saskatchewan.
A chain of lakes on the Qu’Appelle
River and Madge, Kenosee, and Carlyle lakes
draw many visitors in the south. The northern
wilderness attracts increasing numbers of
visitors to Lac La Ronge, Île-à-la-Crosse,
and a vast network of lesser-known lakes.
Visitors can fish for pike, pickerel, whitefish,
lake trout, and perch. An abundance of wildlife,
particularly in the forested regions, provides
hunting in season for deer, antelope, moose,
and elk. Also hunted are geese and ducks
in the swamps and lakes, game birds in the
prairies, and caribou in the north. During
the long, cold winters the frozen lakes are
used for ice hockey and curling, Saskatchewan’s
most popular sports. |
