Buffalo Pound Provincial Park is located 20 minutes northeast of Moose Jaw just off Highway 2 in the Qu’appelle Valley, making it an ideal destination for day trips as well as overnight camping. The area was once an important bison hunting ground for First Nations people, and the park maintains a paddock of these animals where you can observe them grazing along the area’s scenic rolling hills.
There are several water activities available in the park. On the long and narrow Buffalo Pound Lake, visitors can enjoy canoeing, kayaking, fishing, swimming and relaxation on the park’s sandy beach. Additionally, there is a newly-built, state of the art outdoor pool with a sloped entrance for barrier-free access that also offers swimming lessons. Wheelchair accessible washroom facilities equipped with showers are also available for use.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
