Find A Park Blackstrap Provincial Park Free that summertime spirit with a little windsurfing, water skiing, sailing, fishing, swimming, boating or hiking. Or slay those winter blues with some invigorating downhill skiing, snowboarding or cross-country skiing. Blackstrap Provincial Park, named after the mountain that rises 45 metres above the surrounding prairies, is a handy location for year ‘round recreation; it’s only 40 minutes south of Saskatoon.
