Location

Buffalo Pound Provincial Park is located in southern Saskatchewan about 30 km northeast of the city of Moose Jaw and 86 km northwest of the city of Regina. The park surrounds Buffalo Pound Lake, formed from glaciers approximately 10,000 years ago. Previously used by First Nations to corral bison, the park now maintains a captive herd - as you race, you may catch sight of them in the paddock hidden in the rolling hills.

Driving Directions

Google maps often leads people slightly astray. The main entrance to the park is on Hwy 202. If you are coming from Moose Jaw, continue down the 301, until you reach the 202 and follow the signs. If you are coming from Saskatoon, follow Google Maps until you reach Hwy 202 and continue down it past Hwy 301.

Once you have reached the park entry office, take a right directing you towards Rankin’s Campground, Lower Chalet A and B. Rankin’s Group Campsite will be located on the left. We will have signs out to guide you. 

You will be charged $10 per car, per day by the park for an entrance fee. We encourage commuting together to save money and gas.

From Regina: Head west of Highway 1 towards Moose Jaw for approximately 60km, then follow SK 301-N for approximately 20km. Turn right onto Highway 202 E and you will reach the park entrance and visitor centre. 

From Moose Jaw: Take SK-2 N, then turn right onto SK-202 E to bring you to the park entrance.

From Saskatoon: SK-11 S towards Regina for 165km. In Chamberlain, turn right onto SK-2 S for 40km, then turn left onto SK-202 E for 10km until reaching the park entrance.

Parking Information

Parking available at Rankin's Camp Site, where registration and camping will be set up. There is a $10 per car charge, so we advise carpooling.
