It is the time of year
when families start to get ready for their summer vacations. Perhaps
Dad is looking forward to a week on the golf course perfecting
his swing or the kids want the thrill of zipping down an eight
storey waterslide or Mom wants to go horseback riding or gather
her thoughts on a beautiful nature trail. Moose Mountain Provincial
Park has an adventure for everyone.
 The
campground is nestled at Lake Kenosee, Saskatchewan and provides
all types of camping opportunities from backcountry camping to
sites that will accommodate big RVs. There are non-serviced to
fully serviced sites in the campground and facilities include
potable water, showers, washrooms and firewood. You must have
a burning permit for a campfire.
Golf Kenosee
is a fully equipped 18-hole course set in the scenic Moose Mountains.
Expect tree sheltered fairways, grass greens and the breathtaking
scenery of Kenosee Lake. The forest surrounding the course is
made up of white birch, poplar, fir and ash trees. There are also
two miniature golf courses for the not-so-serious golfer among
us.
Water is big at Moose
Mountain. Swim at the beach or have fun at the Waterslide Park.
Kids will love the eight-storey Kenosee Superslide and the less
adventurous can relax on a tranquil inner tube ride through the
canal. There is a fabulous hot tub that seats 150!
 Moose
Mountain Provincial Park also offers a wonderful nature experience.
For those who enjoy birding there are bald and golden eagles,
wrens, scrappy flycatchers and yellow warblers, to name a few.
There is also a great deal of wildlife including moose and elk.
At night you may hear the barking of coyotes.
The Lakeview Trail
and the Beaver Lake Trail are perfect for day hiking or you could
take a multi-night backpacking trip on the 150 kilometer (93 mile)
trail system which also allows biking and has winter uses such
as cross country skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling.
Kenosee Riding Academy
offers guided trail rides for the whole family and pony rides
for the little adventurers. Overnight outings for groups are also
available with prior notification. This is a fantastic way to
experience Moose Mountain and step back to the days of our forefathers.
Cannington Manor Provincial
Historic Park is about 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) from Moose Mountain
Provinical Park and is a must-see. Parts of the village have been
restored and the Visitor's Center was recently renovated. The
village only prospered for two decades and was desolate by 1900.
Moose Mountain Provincial
Park is a great place for the whole family to play and spend time
together with a variety of activities to keep boredom at bay.
