West shoreline

South Saskatchewan River

Saskatchewan, Canada

Wide and rather shallow (very low this year) river location with sandy banks, large river rocks and well vegetated shores. Clear water and many km from any settlement - other than the national historic park Batoche site just upstream and across the river. Saskatoon to this location via canoe is a two day trip. Quiet, scenic, river clams, frogs, black bears, bald eagles, franklin gulls and a few American white pelicans. Accessible via an old cattle trail (ugh hopefully not many of them on the river anymore).
