Meewasin Valley

The Meewasin Valley is an oasis of exceptional beauty in the midst of the Saskatchewan prairies. Stretching nearly 60 km, from Pike Lake in the southwest to Clarke’s Crossing in the northeast, the Meewasin Valley follows the winding curve of the South Saskatchewan River as it passes through the rural municipality of Corman Park and the City of Saskatoon.

“Meewasin” is the Cree word for beautiful. Perhaps no other word so aptly describes this special piece of the South Saskatchewan River Valley. Within its boundaries lie nearly 40 square kilometers of pristine wilderness, exciting culture and inviting trails. Whether you enjoy an outdoor hike, learning about Saskatoon’s heritage or simply wish to stop and smell the wildflowers, the Meewasin Valley is for you.

Named one of the Top 10 Greatest Hikes in Canada by Reader’s Digest Magazine in 2012, the Meewasin Valley Trail is home to a number of exciting sport events and festivals including the PotashCorp Fireworks Festival, Taste of Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan Marathon and the Subaru Saskatoon Triathlon.
