The Meewasin Valley Trail follows the South Saskatchewan River through the heart of Saskatoon, offering year-round recreation and sightseeing opportunities for everyone. Cycle, jog or enjoy a casual stroll through beautifully landscaped parks and natural areas. Cross-country skiing is popular during the winter months, along with skating in Kiwanis Memorial Park. Access points are found throughout the city with interpretive signage and washrooms located along the route.

Throughout the Meewasin Valley, there are parks where you can picnic, barbecue or simply enjoy the view of the river. Several parks have washroom facilities and lookout points along the river bank. All are accessible by the Meewasin Valley Trail.
