The “City of Bridges” and the largest city in Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, is located along the South Saskatchewan River. It combines urban charm with access to nature, making it a fantastic stop when exploring the prairies. The river is central to the city’s identity, and the Meewasin Valley Trail offers scenic walking and cycling paths, with parks and picnic spots that are perfect for summer visits, thanks to the city’s warm climate.

Wanuskewin Heritage Park is a must-visit for those interested in Indigenous history. The park features exhibits, traditional ceremonies, and archaeological sites that date back thousands of years, offering fascinating insights into the lives of the Northern Plains Indigenous Peoples.

Saskatoon is an excellent stop for anyone interested in Indigenous history, art, regional cuisine, or simply looking for a friendly, laid-back urban experience.
