The riverboat travels under four of Saskatoon's nine bridges, past the downtown core with its elegant landscaped parks, natural areas, and some of the city's most opulent residences. This beautiful river valley is enjoyed by all, from canoes and kayaks to rowing skiffs, and water skiers and is recognized as one of the finest and best kept in the world. It is not unusual to see beaver along the river's edge.

Tucked away from the bustle of Saskatoon is a small haven, just shy of the banks of the South Saskatchewan River. Black Fox is a unique farming operation that combines traditional methods of farming with modern technology to utilize the land as efficiently as possible.  90% of the ingredients for producing their award winning Black Fox Gin, Black Fox Vodka and Black Fox Liqueur are grown on farm.  Acres of U-pick flowers are grown on site and should be in bloom for our visit.

Fort Carlton was an important hub for the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) from 1810–1885. Located on the North Saskatchewan River and with easy access by land, this site was an ideal place to warehouse goods and gather provisions for other posts.

Today, this park features a reconstructed palisade, fur and provisions store, trade store, clerks quarters and tepee encampment. Visitors can see, touch and smell artifacts such as bison hides, beaver pelts and more.
