Things to do in Saskatoon

Saskatoon is surrounded by nature, giving visitors plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors! Slip on comfortable shoes after your Saskatoon flight and explore the 100+ km of trails in and around the city. A top choice would be the Meewasin Trail, which runs on both sides of the South Saskatchewan River and winds through parks and natural areas. The Meewasin Trail is a favourite amongst locals and visitors for cycling, jogging, walking and taking in the scenery.

Flying to Saskatoon in the warmer months? Make time for canoeing and paddleboarding! Pike Lake is a great option for canoeing, and it's only 20 minutes south of the city. Canoe and paddleboard rentals are available for a fun day out on the water – you might also spot wildlife such as geese, ducks, beavers and muskrats while you're there.

Travellers on flights to Saskatoon in the winter will have lots of fun activities to experience. Hit the slopes at Optimist Hill and enjoy a day of skiing, snowboarding or snow tubing. There are also over 50 outdoor skating rinks throughout the city for those itching to get out on the ice.

If you're interested in trying a unique winter activity, try kicksledding! Kicksledding is a fun way to explore Saskatoon's many trails. The sled consists of a chair mounted to metal runners which are similar to skis. The rider stands on the runners and kicks the ground to move forward – kicksled rentals are available at Escape Sports.

Broadway District

When you fly to Saskatoon, make sure to visit the Broadway District – this five-block district is known as the birthplace of arts and culture in Saskatoon. With over 175 shops and businesses, Broadway District is a great neighbourhood for shopping, dining and entertainment.

Take in beautiful city and river views along the Broadway Bridge. The bridge has pedestrian and bike lanes so you can explore it however you like. Keep your eyes peeled for painted rocks below the bridge – painted by locals, these colourful rocks add another layer of beauty to the landscape.

Douglas Provincial Park

Enjoy fresh air and nature in Douglas Provincial Park after landing from your Saskatoon flight. The park is located on the shores of Lake Diefenbaker, the largest body of water in southern Saskatchewan. As an hour and a half drive from Saskatoon, Douglas Provincial Park makes a fantastic day trip option for outdoors lovers.

Lace up your hiking boots and hit the trails. The Dunes Nature Centre Trails are some of the most popular trails leading hikers to sand dunes. These dunes are the remnants of a lake that once covered the area during the last ice age.

If you're flying to Saskatoon in the summer, make a splash at the beach! Cool off in the shallow water or relax by the shore. Fishing and boating are other popular activities during the warmer months.

Overnight camping at the park is also available, if you want to sleep under the stars. Many of the campsites are in forested areas and a short walk away from the beach.
