Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park - Saskatchewan Visitor Centre — Attraction in Saskatchewan

Stopped here to hike. The visitor centre is very nice with clean bathrooms. The staff were very helpful and gave us recommendations for hikes where we'd see lots of wildflowers and birds (we were there in early June) and gave us good advice about roads to avoid due to mud. It had rained quite a bit just before we were there. Great view of the lake from the centre and nice benches and picnic tables just across the road. We enjoyed watching ducklings and goslings while we ate. We hiked three very different trails: Native Prairie Trail - awesome flowers. I've never seen so many shooting star flowers before.
