Fort Qu’Appelle feels like a place where stories linger in the landscape. Long before it became a town, this valley was an important gathering place for First Nations, and later it grew around a Hudson’s Bay Company trading post that connected people, goods, and cultures moving through the Qu’Appelle Valley. Walking through town or along the lakeshore, it’s easy to imagine how central this spot once was. Today, heritage buildings, local museums, and viewpoints invite you to slow down, take in the setting, and feel the layers of history that still shape the character of this small community.

This stretch of the Trans Canada Trail along Echo Lake feels made for slowing down and taking it all in. The path stays close to the lakeshore and gentle open slopes, opening up wide views across the water and the rolling hills of the Qu’Appelle Valley. It’s an easy walk, with plenty of natural spots to stop, feel the breeze off the lake, and enjoy the calm rhythm of the landscape around you.

Fort San is a small but fascinating stop near Echo Valley, set along the shores of Echo Lake. Over the years it has been a resort, a sanatorium, and later an arts school, leaving behind a layered and meaningful past. Today, walking paths wind through the site, opening to views across Echo Lake and the Qu’Appelle Valley.

Specifically designed to showcase the diverse, and not so flat, landscapes of Saskatchewan, the Beaver Flat 50 is a long distance relay race that takes place in Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park. This particular section, Leg 2, has some of the steepest and most dramatic elevation change along the entire route, but the views over the hills and across the river are outstanding.

One of Western Canada’s great waterways, the South Saskatchewan River flows from the confluence of the Bow and Oldman Rivers in Alberta to the Saskatchewan River Forks in central Saskatchewan. Along its course, it carves through prairies, coulees, and city landscapes while its broad valley supports wildlife, recreation, and bustling communities along the way.

This is a nice neighbourhood park with a playground, splash pad, picnic areas, walking paths, and sports fields. There's plenty of things to do for a family day out!

Douglas Park Disc Golf Course is an 18-hole, free-to-play course set in an open area. There are concrete tee pads, mostly flat and lightly wooded fairways, nearby washrooms, and water fountains. This course is great for beginners and more advanced players alike.

Wascana Hill is not such a high hill but offers one of the best elevated viewpoints in Regina, with a short trail that climbs through prairie grassland to a wide, open summit. From the top, you get panoramic views of Wascana Lake, the city skyline, and the surrounding rolling plains. A great spot to go see the sunset or the sunrise.
