Boating In Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan is a landlocked province that is home to around 100,000 lakes. You  won’t be stuck for waters to put your Saskatchewan boating license to work on, with over 12% of the province covered by lakes and rivers. Some of the most popular lakes in Saskatchewan offer something special from sandy beaches, popular fishing spots and amazing clear fresh water for swimming.

Lake Diefenbaker

Lake Diefenbaker is one of Saskatchewan’s most popular lakes. It is a wonderful boating spot for everyone from powerboaters, to sailors, fishers and water sport enthusiasts. Lake Diefenbaker has over 800km of coastline, beautiful sandy beaches, provincial parks and towns to explore. Spend a beautiful sunny day exploring all Lake Diefenbaker has to offer and don’t forget to jump in for a swim to cool off after your adventure.

Lake Athabasca

Lake Athabasca is a remote lake in northern Saskatchewan that is known for being the largest and one of the deepest lakes in Saskatchewan. It is a favourite fishing spot for anglers with many types of fish found here like trout, pike, walleye and whitefish. Lake Athabasca is not only for fishers, many people travel here to take in the sights of the pristine wilderness. The breathtaking Athabasca Sand Dunes are a must-see, they stretch 100 kilometres along the shore and some reach up to 30 metres high. The Athabasca Sand Dunes in Saskatchewan are the most northerly sand dunes in the world.

Meadow Lake Provincial Park

Once you have obtained your Saskatchewan boating license why not check out Meadow Lake Provincial Park. The park is the largest provincial park in Saskatchewan and is home to over 20 lakes. Many beaches can be found in Meadow Lake Provincial Park and since it is located in northern Saskatchewan the waters are cooler making for a refreshing dip on those hot summer days. This is a great spot for a family adventure and is very popular with Saskatchewanians.

Barrier Lake
Barrier Lake is another popular lake in Saskatchewan with many locals enjoying long summer days water skiing, wakeboarding and swimming. This beautiful lake continues for miles which is great if you want to escape the main busy area for some relaxing downtime or a spot of fishing. Visit Barrie Lake Resort restaurant for a bite to eat or to stock up on some snacks for your day out on the water. Barrier Lake is a perfect getaway spot for you and your Saskatchewan boating license.
