サスカチュワンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Prince Albert National Parks sits at the meeting point of the grassland prairies that central Canada is famous for and the lakes, bogs and woodlands of the boreal forest. This area is incredibly rich with plant and animal life and the park offers a wide range of outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and fishing as well as guided tours and even Christmas Tree harvesting.

This loop trail can be hiked in either direction, and it showcases a wide variety of Prince Albert National Parks flora and fauna. The spring/summer wildflowers are great and the autumn leaves are stunning! Though not particularly steep, the constant up and down of the trail along with exposed roots and rocks do provide a bit of a challenge. Good footwear and/or hiking poles are essential.

Located just a short distance from the trailhead and accessible after a moderate climb, the Spruce River Highlands Lookout is a great destination in Prince Albert National Park. If you don't have much time its perfect for a quick out and back hike, but it also lies just off of the main trail that takes you around the Spruce River highlands in an 8.5 kilometer loop.

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.

Broken Hills Trailhead has no official parking lot, so cars are asked to pull as far off to the side of the road as possible and to be careful when the dirt roads here get muddy, as cars can get stuck. No restrooms or water fountains here, so come ready.

Broken Hills Trail loops around native mixed-grass prairie, with gentle elevation gain and loss, rising and falling over rolling hills that feel vast and open. There is no shade, so bring plenty of water, wear sun protection, and avoid hiking during the hottest part of the day.

The Red Adirondack Chairs are a nice place to rest and take a photo, and they’re part of Parks Canada’s “We saved you a seat” program. This program encourages visitors to stop, reflect, and appreciate the surrounding prairies.

Fairy Hill Nature Reserve is nestled in the Qu’Appelle Valley, and home to quite a few species of birds, deer, and moose. Pets must be kept on a leash while exploring the area. The reserve is open year-round and set aside for future generations to enjoy.
