Our practical tipsCounts based on our 3 trails in Living Skies & Badlands; details and sources are on each trail page.

Among the 1 easy trails, start with Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park (8.3 km, 2 hr 30 min). Each trail page gives the duration, the level and the access conditions.
Dogs are allowed on 3 of our 3 trails, including Grasslands National Park, Douglas Provincial Park and Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park.
Each trail page links to the site manager's website (park, municipality, reserve), which publishes closures and rules. During the thaw and after heavy rain, some trails may be closed.
In southwest Saskatchewan the horizon is wide and the sky fills most of the view. Between the shores of Lake Diefenbaker to the north and the U.S. border to the south, the land shifts from mixed-grass prairie to badlands.
Grasslands National Park protects native mixed-grass prairie, with prairie dogs and, in places, badlands where erosion has carved the coulees. The park is also a dark-sky preserve.
Douglas Provincial Park, to the north, is known for its sand dunes on the shore of Lake Diefenbaker. Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park, farther southwest, also sits on the lake.
There is little shade and little water: carry both, plus a hat. Prairie rattlesnakes live in the southwest of the province, so watch where you put your feet. Services are limited at Grasslands National Park; fill up before you go.
