Accommodation
The majority of accommodation suitable for travellers is found in the south and central portion of the province, especially in Regina, Saskatoon, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, Swift Current, Weyburn, Melfort, Yorkton, Estevan and the Battlefords. The parklands in the northern part of the province have mainly camping-style accommodation, as well as northern lodges and cabins, some with all the modern facilities. ‘Houseboat charters’ on the lakes are a special feature of Saskatchewan.
