Saskatchewan Adventure
by Nabewise
Where do you have to go to step back in time? Would you believe Saskatchewan? Yes, I'm serious! That land-locked province known for its endless kilometers of wheat fields and wide open spaces is hiding an adventure right out of the history books.
Saskatchewan has drawn the attention of adventurers from as far back as the 1650’s. These early people were known as “Coureur do bois” and later the Voyageurs. Today they are called outdoor enthusiasts or tourists.
The day of the Voyageur may be past but their spirit lives on. Their well traveled routes through northern Saskatchewan via the Churchill, Saskatchewan and Nelson Rivers, surrounding lakes and their interlinking portages are well documented and many are still used today.
There are over fifty certified canoe trips published by Saskatchewan Environment and Resource Management following these original Voyageur routes. Each booklet has a detailed description of the trip including portages (in both directions), length of the trip and approximate days required to complete the trip, access points and a list of map coordinates. You will find more than enough information here to plot your trip in detail.
Remember to register your trip and become a certified Saskatchewan Voyageur. Upon completion you will receive a Voyageur Certificate documenting your trip.
If you’re tired of the over populated tourist traps and are open for adventure look north and discover a true gem. Northern Saskatchewan has it all, history, isolation, fishing and more. Come and discover why the Voyageurs of seemed to enjoy their work so much
