In the hilly Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, enjoy days filled with hiking, canoeing, fishing, golfing, rides on horseback, swimming in the lake and zip lining through the forest canopy. If you wish to explore local taste and a bit of Canadian history, venture back to Maple Creek where quaint restaurants and coffee shops await and then proceed north on Highway 271 toward Fort Walsh National Historic Site.
Fort Walsh was another North-West Mounted Police site, built in June 1875, to curb the illegal whiskey trade and protect Canada's nearby border with the United States. Visitors can tour the Fort's buildings, the former townsite, cemeteries and the whiskey trading post. Fort Walsh is part of the Cypress Hills Dark Sky Preserve.
