BATTLEFORD RIVER VALLEY
The Town of Battleford and City of North Battleford, known as the Battlefords, are beautifully situated atop either side of the North Saskatchewan River Valley in northwest Saskatchewan. Lending additional charm to this area is the Battle River that converges with the North Saskatchewan River just south of Battleford. The Battlefords are blessed with a river valley system rich in natural and cultural heritage resources. Since prehistoric times, the North Saskatchewan and Battle Rivers have attracted hunters, gatherers, farmers, and settlers. The river valleys have provided a means of transportation, a critical source of water, and sources of food and shelter. This attraction has also been evident for a wide variety of wildlife species, many of which may still be found in the area
Finlayson Island is located on the North Saskatchewan River between the arched bridges connecting North Battleford with Battleford. The island has a variety of nature trails and is a great place to hike, cross-country ski, or picnic. The wide variety of flora and fauna make it a unique recreational opportunity for all to enjoy.
