LAKE DIEFENBAKER

Lake Diefenbaker features three major parks, including Sask Landing, Danielson Provincial Park, and Douglas Provincial Park. The lake is adjacent to the Coteau Hills, which offer rugged hills, wooded valleys and winding trails. Areas to explore include Lookout Point, Coulee Trail and the historic Battleford Trail.

Sask Landing is also the site of historic Goodwin House. This landmark building was a stagecoach station back in 1900 and served as a dispatch for nine years by the North West Mounted Police. The building has been completely restored and operates today as a visitors' centre.

Lake Diefenbaker was formed in 1967 when the massive Gardiner Dam was constructed on the South Saskatchewan River. The project took eight years to build and when it was completed, it was the world's largest earth filled dam. With expansive waterways and almost 800 kilometres of shoreline, the lake has become known across the province for golfing, boating and fishing.
