THE JOURNEY BEGINS
Elk Ridge Resort is Saskatchewan's premier all-season resort, located in a friendly, luxurious setting in the heart of the northern Saskatchewan’s boreal forest not far from Prince Albert. Championship golf, an excellent spa, fine dining, and outdoor experiences are available in plenty at the Elk Ridge Resort and in the surrounding areas of the Lakeland region and Prince Albert National Park. The Resort was awarded the TripAdvisor's Certificate of Excellence and recognized as a Reader's Digest Top 9 Must See Canadian Winter Destinations.
With a challenging and picturesque 27-hole championship course; the course includes three 9-hole sections, two restaurants, trails, and the entrance to Prince Albert National Park a short distance away, you have the entire day of activities of choice. The main beach and the National Park Visitor Centre at Lake Waskesiu are only 9 km away.
Less than a three-hour drive north and situated in the Churchill River System on Otter Lake is Thompson’s Resort with 35 rental cabins from bachelor suites to group cabins housing 24 people or more. Each of the units comes equipped with a kitchenette, stocked with basic items, a barbecue, and bathrooms. Thompson's Resort hosts an onsite restaurant with dine in and cabin delivery options, conference facilities and for grocery needs, the Churchill River Trading Post is located just across the street. Thompson’s Resort is the departure point to visit their outpost camps, day fly-out lakes and departures for Twin Falls Lodge. The resort is located right in Missinipe on Otter Lake and is accessible by a mostly paved road 80 km north of La Ronge.
A full day to relax or opt for activities like, guided canoe and hiking adventures besides other opportunities to unplug and unwind at the lodge nestled in the heart of the boreal forest.
Drive with stops in La Ronge and Prince Albert to St Denis located near Saskatoon for your overnight stay at the Champetre County. This facility offers overnight accommodations in cozy saloon rooms, western glamping units and rustic cabins. All the accommodations can be paired with any number of meals or activities to make your stay unique and memorable. If you are seeking a more pastoral atmosphere, you can book the restored Eatons’ house which allows guests two guest rooms upstairs, each with a double bed, and additional living space on the main floor with plenty of room for socializing.
Established in 1995 by Arthur and Thérèse Denis, Champetre County, is currently managed by their daughter Francine Edmondson. Following in the family values of Denis, the present owner likes to introduce people to the Saskatchewan prairies, a place they call home. There’s an old homestead full of antiques to simulate curiosity and forgotten memories or you can try your hand at the well-known Lost Corral Maze, featured in the Amazing Race Canada in 2019. For an extra challenge, try the maze at night. For a taste of city life, drive to nearby Saskatoon and visit the Remai Modern, take one of the Prairie Lily’s river cruises on the South Saskatchewan River, and or sample some excellent farm to fork cuisine that Saskatoon’s downtown restaurants have become famous for.
Drive three hours southwest to the La Reata Ranch on the shore of the South Saskatchewan River. The area around the ranch is steeped in ranching traditions and prairie history. Experience the rodeo trail and the life of competing cowboys firsthand at nearby small towns. Riding, roping, cowboy cookouts on the range, bonfires under the stars, the magnificent scenery, and the down-home hospitality of La Reata Ranch has left past guests with memories that are treasured for a lifetime. What always remain constant here are the glorious sunrises, the spectacular sunsets, the feel of the wind on your face as you ride the open trails, and the peace of mind only a cowboy can enjoy.
At peace with your surroundings, relax after a full day at the La Reata Ranch near Kyle.
Head south to the community of Val Marie, approximately an hour and a half south of Swift Current on Hwy 4. The community is near just outside the West Block of the Grasslands National Park. This is the only Canadian national park that represents prairie grasslands, It is also home to the plains bison, and both the West and East Blocks of the park were declared Dark Sky Preserves in 2019. All accesses to both blocks of Grasslands National Park are by gravel road only. Get details from the Park Visitor Centres and then overnight stay at The Crossing at Grasslands on the border of the park, approximately 5 km from Val Marie. Leave noise and traffic behind and experience The Crossing, your gateway to the wide-open, awe-inspiring expanse of Canada’s only nationally protected grasslands. The Crossing is located on 80 acres and offers a quiet and stunningly beautiful retreat-like setting embraced by grassy, rolling hills and wild prairie skies with direct access to the park for solo hikes and meanders. Their three suites are fully self-contained with luxurious beds, pressed linens, private bathrooms, and well-stocked kitchenettes / kitchen. Guests enjoy balconies overlooking the park and pond; these are great for morning coffees and wildlife viewing. Leave your windows open and fall asleep to a chorus of coyotes. Wake to birdsongs and the big-sky prairie sun rising over the buttes. Explore the rolling prairie and lazy course of the Frenchman River valley, where Sitting Bull, fur traders and Northwest Mounted Police crossed over on their way further west. See hundreds of Indigenous tipi rings, medicine wheels, and lonesome homestead ranches ranch homesteads established more than a century ago.
Explore the 20-km, self-guided Ecotour Scenic Drive in the park’s West Block to discover stunning landscapes, rich history and active conservation. Unique formations of land and climate have created niches for rare plants, birds and animals including the pronghorn antelope, black-tailed prairie dog, burrowing owl, sage grouse, ferruginous hawk, greater short-horned lizard, and prairie rattlesnake. Head home with a ton of memories of a stunningly varied Saskatchewan drive experience.
