SASKATCHEWAN RIVER FORKS

In Canada, the site where the North Saskatchewan and South Saskatchewan Rivers flow into each other to create the Saskatchewan River about forty kilometres east of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.
The site is heavily wooded with steep banks, a tourist picnic site and hiking trails.
Historically several fur posts were in the region, the English having reached this point in 1692 under Henry Kelsey, and the French in the mid 1750s with Louis de la Corne, Chevalier de la Corne.
A major intersection when waterways were important to transportation on the Canadian prairies, first with the fur trade and then during the riverboat era, they now only attract tourists, canoeists and recreational fishermen.
