The Southern Saskatchewan Backroad Mapbook is the most
comprehensive outdoor recreation resource available for Southern Saskatchewan.
As you travel north and south along the Saskatchewan-Alberta border you will
find the highest point between the Rocky Mountains and Labrador in the
incredible Cypress Hills and its lodgepole pine forests. You will also discover
the Great Sand Hills, with their incredible shifting sands. The Trans-Canada
Highway running west to east cuts through the great prairie area. But if you
leave the ribbon of asphalt, in less than half an hour's drive you will find
yourself following first the South Saskatchewan River at the Alberta border,
into Lake Diefenbaker, then the Qu'Appelle Valley with its chain of lakes,
until you reach the Manitoba border. Whatever kind of outdoor recreation you
are looking for you can find it a stone's throw from the Trans-Canada
Highway.
The reference section includes information on lake and stream
fishing, paddling routes, multi-use trails (hiking/biking/ATV), wilderness
camping (parks and conservation areas), and winter recreation. The maps
highlight the provincial road networks, trail systems and recreation
opportunities for Southern Saskatchewan. Whether fishing, paddling, ATVing,
snowmobiling, or bird watching, the Southern Saskatchewan Backroad
Mapbook is much more than a set of maps - it is an explorer's
guide.
