Qu'Appelle Valley - Saskatchewan
Fishing, boating, skiing and sailing are popular summer activities, and the valley is considered one of the best hang-gliding locales between Ontario and the Rockies. Most motorists on the TransCanada Highway speed right past this valley retreat, however, unaware that a mere 20 minutes north of the community of Qu'Appelle lies welcome respite from the seemingly endless plain. Fort Qu'Appelle, not to be confused with Qu'Appelle, is a valley town of 2,000 situated smack dab in the middle of a sizeable recreational area that encompasses two provincial parks, at least a half-dozen beaches and all manner of shops and amenities. Snowmobiles bloom here in winter - the local club grooms more than 350 kilometres of trails - and Mission Hill ski resort offers nine runs, with two T-bars and two handle-tows, just south of town. "The Fort" features a surprising number and variety of eating establishments, including the dining room at the Country Squire Inn that's recommended in Where to Eat in Canada. There's a host of hotel and motel rooms, bed-and-breakfast accommodations, as well as a 42-site campground right in town.
