Paper Birch Trail
Regional park Pass required to use this trail. Located at the Wynyard & District Regional Park 2.5 km south off the Yellow Head HWY along the 640 grid road.
This 1/2 km trail begins at the park entrance, winding up through the north area of the park. This trail offers meandering paths covered overhead by thick tree canopy. In 1988, the paper birch was adopted as the official tree of Saskatchewan. This hardwood tree is found across the northern three-quarters of the province. Paper birch is often one of the first species to colonize a burned area within the northern latitudes and an important species for moose browse. *This trail is not groomed in the winter*
Prairie Lily Trail
Regional park Pass required to use this trail. Located at the Wynyard & District Regional Park 2.5 km south off the Yellow Head HWY along the 640 grid road.
This 3 km trail begins at the park entrance curving around the entire perimeter of the park. This trail boasts wide open spaces and breathtaking views of the surrounding farmland. In 1941, the prairie lily was chosen as the official flower of Saskatchewan. This lily grows in moist meadows and semi-wooded areas. With its flaming red blossoms, it stands out brilliantly against a natural green background.
White-Tailed Deer Trail
Located at the Wynyard Coulee off Ave. B between 9th Street East and 10th Street East.
This 1/2 km trail runs the length of the Wynyard Coulee, located off Ave. B between 9th Street East and 10th Street East. With its generous tree cover and diverse foliage, this trail will make you forget you’re in town! Saskatchewan designated the white-tailed deer our official animal in 2001. Adults have a reddish- brown summer coat and a greyish-brown winter coat, with white underparts. The name comes from the white underside of the tail, which is raised like a flag when the deer is running or frightened. *This trail is not groomed in the winter*
