Whether you want to push your limits on a heart-pounding backcountry hike, enjoy a round of golf at two renowned courses or delight your tastebuds with first-class culinary fare, there are plenty of options to satisfy everyone’s age, interests and budgets at Waskesiu.

When it comes to outdoor exploration, Waskesiu is a crowd-pleasing playground. Visitors can rent kayaks, canoes or paddleboards or enjoy Saskatchewan’s finest marina with their own watercrafts to wakeboard on the lake or try their luck at catching a world-record walleye. If land-based activity is more your thing, how about a round of mini golf, pickleball or a game of tennis on one of the many resurfaced courts? Try renting a quadracycle from the Grey Owl Centre and cruise around town. You can channel your inner Schwarzenegger with a workout at the outdoor gym and then cool off with an ice cream cone from the nearby shops. Imagine a high-flying adventure, zip-lining through the forest. That’s an option too!
