The Saskatchewan government announced the opening of electric campsite upgrades, the opening of Fen Trail and an energy-efficient service centre at Duck Mountain Provincial Park.
Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Kevin Doherty says an expansion of electrical service to 130 campsites in Birch Campground will begin shortly.
“These upgrades will strengthen Duck Mountain and ensure it continues to provide an enjoyable camping experience for visitors today and in the future,” said Doherty.

Those upgrades are in addition to previous improvements which opened this spring. That included expanding electrical service to 159 sites in Duck Mountain’s Spruce and Poplar campgrounds.
Duck Mountain’s Fen Trail is now completed and gives visitors a clear view of the rare wetlands, including those with disabilities.
Birch campground’s new service centre is also complete. It is modern, energy-efficient and a welcome addition for visitors to the campground.
Visitors can enjoy golfing, fishing and water sports in the summer, while skiers, toboggans and snowmobilers take full advantage of the four-season park in the winter.
This year, government is providing more than $13-million to parks capital projects.
Duck Mountain Provincial Park is around 350km east of Saskatoon.
