Blackstrap Provincial Park

Blackstrap Provincial Park, Provincial park in Saskatchewan, Canada

Blackstrap Provincial Park runs along the eastern shore of Blackstrap Lake in the RM of Dundurn No. 314, about 8.5 km east of Dundurn via Highway 211. It covers 6.1 km² and holds three campgrounds, beaches, picnic areas, a marina, and Mount Blackstrap, a 45-metre man-made hill. Trails for hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing follow the steep sides of the Blackstrap Coulee.

Blackstrap Lake was created in 1967 as a reservoir for agricultural, industrial and recreational use, fed by gravity through an earthen aqueduct from Lake Diefenbaker. Saskatoon won the 1971 Canada Winter Games, and land along the eastern shore was acquired to raise Mount Blackstrap for the downhill events. In 1986 much of that shore, including the hill, became Blackstrap Provincial Park.

The park serves as a gathering place for local families and sports enthusiasts who come for water activities, picnics, and outdoor recreation throughout the year. Seasonal changes shape how visitors experience and use the different areas.

The park has three camping areas with facilities like water and electrical hookups for overnight visitors. The relatively flat terrain and well-maintained paths make it easy to navigate for people of most fitness levels.

Mount Blackstrap was built in 1970 from soil dug out of the escarpment behind it, reaching 2,045 feet above sea level. Saskatoon's bid for the 1971 Canada Winter Games used the slogan "Going to build a mountain." The hill rises 45 metres above the surrounding land.
