Weekend Trip to Valley Springs Campground & Trails

What a nice place to visit! I had full hookups. Very reasonable price. This campground is in a beautiful valley. There is a natural spring running through. Wonderful, clear fresh water to drink. There are very nice hiking trails that offer shady walks along the spring fed stream. Scenic trails also with gorgeous views! There is a pond and a small lake that is like an oasis. It really is very peaceful and full of life. Some may not appreciate the train traffic. We aren't bothered. It's just part of the character. I'd say it's worth the trip.

Overview

About

Stroll the picturesque banks of the Qu’Appelle River and walk around the stone monuments marking the spot where Fort Espérance, the North West Company’s oldest pemmican depot, once stood. Imagine the bustling scene of the company men and Indigenous tradespeople preparing the pemmican and buffalo hides, before heading two days march away to the junction of the Assiniboine River, the gateway to the prized Athabasca region.

When to go

The best time to visit Fort Espérance National Historic Site is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the weather is pleasant for outdoor activities. Winter can be harsh, with cold temperatures and snow, making access and exploration more challenging.

Know before you go

Check the weather forecast before your visit, as the prairie climate can be unpredictable.
Wear appropriate footwear for walking around the historic site and riverbanks.
Bring a camera to capture the picturesque landscapes and historic markers.
Respect the site's heritage by not disturbing the stone monuments or artifacts.
Note that the site is open daily from sunrise to 11pm, allowing for flexible planning.
