General presentation
Qu'Appelle Valley
Glacial valley punctuated with lakes, hills and communities related to Cree and Saulteaux nations.
The discovery of the Qu'Appelle Valley is centred around Echo Valley Provincial Park, Fort Qu'Appelle and Lebret. The stay thus alternates between the shores and the lakes, the riverscapes, the countryside and the heritage, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Culture and heritage
Fort Qu'Appelle
Fort Qu的Appelle serves as a small entrance door to the valley lakes, with shops, historic buildings and roads descending to the water. Its interest lies in this position of crossroads: it feels the meeting between resorts, Métis and Aboriginal history, and relief in the Prairies.
Place indismissible
Lebret

Nature and landscape
Katepwa Point Provincial Park
