A guide to our river

Check out this fascinating guide to the North Saskatchewan River courtesy of the North Saskatchewan River Valley Conservation Society.

North Saskatchewan River Guide
This free river guide emphasizes and reinforces the long and noble relationship that humans have with the North Saskatchewan River. It is designed to remind us of its significant cultural, historical, recreational, and environmental value.

The guide provides a river map from the beginning of the North Saskatchewan to where it joins the South Saskatchewan at Saskatchewan River Forks, east of Prince Albert. 1:50,000 scale maps were used to create the maps in this guide and care has been taken to ensure accuracy.

Sprinkled in descriptions of each reach of the river are bird, plant, animal and fish facts as well eco-tips, history about that area, and river adventure tips about camping, rapids classes and canoeing.
