4 Day Horse Riding Holiday and Ranch Vacation in Big River, Saskatchewan

Welcome to Sturgeon River Ranch. This 940-acre property is hidden in the beautiful Sturgeon River Valley and is home to an assortment of wildlife.

You also can ride over into the Prince Albert National Park in search of Canada's only totally free ranging heard of wild plains bison within their historic habitat.

With almost a million acres to explore, there is a different trail for every day of the week. With all the amenities of home, you can rest your legs in the hot tub at the end of the day and tell stories around the campfire.
