Leaving Regina, we will make our way to Saskatoon and Historic North Battleford where we will visit Fort Battleford National Historic Site overlooking the North Saskatchewan River. Fort Battleford showcases the role of the Northwest Mounted Police in the Canadian West. The fort was established in 1876 and abandoned in 1924. It offers five original buildings, four with period furniture, showing how the national architecture of the day was adapted to the West. The stockades and bastions are reconstructed, and the barracks have an interpretive display.

We will end the day at Atton's Lake Regional Park, where we will camp for the night. There is a nice beach area for the bold swimmers or good hiking in the surrounding hills for those who prefer to stretch their legs on land. Nearby is the site of the Battle of Cut Knife during the 1885 Resistance, which includes a marble cairn built in 1952 on the actual battlefield on Poundmaker Reserve, where chief Poundmaker is buried.
