South Saskatchewan River Weir - Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

Graham T.

I lived in Saskatoon long enough to do a walk along both sides of the river from downtown to the CPR Bridge. Along the way you pass a weir, intended to smooth out the river and make it safe for boating in the downtown area. It looks like a gentle waterfall. Free parking is nearby if you just want to look at the weir. You can get additional views from the bridge and the opposite side of the river.

Beautiful views of the South Saskatchewan river from the parking area and even better views from the bridge. Not a lot of shade during hot weather, so sun protection is recommended. Beautiful pelicans can be seen fishing and hanging out on the shores. Overall, great place to visit and wander.

The path around the river is a beautiful walk!!! It is usually well kept up with snow and ice removal through the Winter as well as the other seasons.
Washrooms along the path are only the North side and almost always locked all Winter even though signs say they are supposed to be open. It would be nice the washrooms along the path were kept open from 8am to 5pm even in Winter.
It would be wonderful.if they built some washroom facilities on the South side of the trail as well!!
I know damage is an issue, which is unfortunate, as because of a few people who dont have the common sense to appreciate public, open washrooms to use, everyone has to suffer. Maybe an app that will remotely unlock the doors if someone makes a request? Then use can be monitored without having people right there.
The parhs along the river make for a beautiful place to walk. There are parks and benches along the way where you can sit and enjoy the scenery for as long as you like.

It's a pretty spot to go and see.

Pleasant view of Saskatoon's river. Better if you climb the stairs and walk across the train bridge to get the full view of the two sides of the river. It has some nice walking paths and rest areas. Beautiful place to spend some time with friends and family

Such a relaxing place to go for a stroll down the paved path along the river. You can park at the weir for free. You can even walk across the river on the train bridge.

This is a very beautiful view looking over the river. In this area is foot paths and fishing spots people visit regularly in the summer. You'll definitely see ducks and pigeons and other birds in the area. There is signs with little historical information about the area as well. It's beautiful place for a casual walk on a warm summer day.

Summer time, the best place to visit for leisure.
You will see some pelicans around, and other birds.
Nature spot in city, help people feel back to nature and comfort.
For a walk, or bike ride around the weir, take your time and enjoy summer.

Winter time, it is little chill, but still a nice place to visit. Stand near the river and listen to the sound of nature, which purifies your soul.
