Family Friendly Summer Ecotour 

SaskOutdoors would like to invite you to our Family Friendly Summer Ecotour to the north end of Last Mountain Lake. It is a free program but we encourage you to become a SaskOutdoors member.

Please register so we have an idea of numbers. We have organized the programming, and you cover the costs of your food & accommodations & travel. 

This would be a great experience for first time campers!
