Just a quick half-hour drive south of Swift Current is beautiful Lac Pelletier Regional Park: a popular recreation spot for residents and visitors alike to enjoy Saskatchewan’s big backyard. 

The lake and surrounding sprawling land provide ample opportunities for outdoor activities during every season. In the winter, bring your sled and toboggan down the hills or explore the vast terrain on cross-country skis or snowshoes. The frozen lake is thick and strong (make sure to always check the conditions before you go, though) and perfect for ice skating, a curling tournament, or playing a hockey game. Lac Pelletier is also a prime ice fishing destination for winter anglers, with perch, pike, and walleye among the most common fish. Make sure to wrap up warmly and in layers before you hit the ice!
