As you know, the South Saskatchewan River runs through the city and is the heart of Saskatoon. Whether you enjoy walking along the Meewasin Trails, having a picnic, or enjoying some ice cream at the Sugar Shack, there is no shortage of things to do on land. However, there are also plenty of things to do on the water as well!

Trust me when I say, book yourself a ticket for the The Prairie Lily Riverboat. It is such a beautiful way to see Saskatoon. They offer dinner and brunch cruises, special feature cruises, and classic sightseeing tours.

Another way to enjoy the water is to book yourself an experience with Back2Nature Wellness & Adventures! Kyla hosts all kinds of classes, from Learn to Stand-Up Paddleboard, Glow Stand-Up Paddleboarding, Morning Breakfast Paddleboard & Meditation, and more! Be sure to book your experience this summer.

Lastly, if you are walking along the river and decide you want a paddleboard or kayak experience, stop by The Local Adventure Company. They have rentals available on the spot and are located along the river beside the Delta Bessborough and across from the Sheraton Cavealier. If paddleboarding or kayaking aren’t your thing, they also have Electric Bikes for rent!
