The Town of Porcupine Plain is located on Highway 23, in the Northeast Parkland adjacent to Greenwater Lake Provincial Park. Rich agricultural land, rolling hills, mixed forest, and numerous lakes make this one of the most beautiful areas in the Province!
Nestled within the Porcupine Provincial Forest, and just a short drive from Greenwater Lake Provincial Park, the Town of Porcupine Plain is a nature lover’s dream! While Porcupine Plain’s main industry is agriculture, the Town is also a four-season tourism destination. The Town offers ample opportunity to get outside and explore nature – enjoy a scenic hike or lounge on the beach at nearby Greenwater Lake; relish quality time with family and friends while quadding, fishing, and ice fishing; or take in the beautiful landscape while cross-country skiing. The area also boasts some of the best moose, elk, and whitetail deer hunting found anywhere! The local snowmobile club grooms over 100 miles of pristine snowmobile trails, which connect to the groomed trails of Hudson Bay, Kelvington, Lintlaw, and Greenwater Lake Provincial Park, for an unforgettable snowmobiling experience.
Porcupine Plain is truly Nature’s Gift!

Enhancements at Scott Park & Porcupine Museum
Walking Paths & New Story Stroll Signage at Scott Park!
Scott Park has long been a cherished green space in the heart of Porcupine Plain. While its natural charm has endured, time has taken its toll on some of the park’s features. Recognizing the importance of this space, the Town of Porcupine Plain has been taking steps to revitalize Scott Park and enhance its role as a welcoming, inclusive community hub.
In 2021, Knudsen Honey generously donated two picnic tables, which helped make the park more inviting. Around the same time, during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Town partnered with the Public Library to launch the Story Stroll — an outdoor active literacy program designed to keep children and adults engaged and reading while traditional programming at the Library was on hold. Since then, the Story Stroll has become a much-loved feature of the park, encouraging learning and connection in an outdoor setting.
As part of ongoing efforts to support community wellness and accessibility, we’re thrilled to announce the installation of a new multi-use pathway through Scott Park! This new pathway will improve access to the Story Stroll and playground areas, make the park more usable for families with strollers and individuals using wheelchairs or mobility aids, and support our community’s designation as an Age-Friendly Community by enhancing walkability and adding additional benches for rest and relaxation.
This enhancement directly responds to feedback from the 2021 Community Recreation Survey, in which residents expressed a strong desire for accessible outdoor spaces, walking and bike paths, and ways to enjoy nature and improve wellness.
The new pathway also allowed for the installation of permanent, weather-resistant visually pleasing Story Stroll signage, replacing the temporary tree-mounted signs. This upgrade will enhance programming, including weekly story walks as part of the Summer Play Program and the cultural and bilingual displays held during Culture Days each fall.
We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada’s Active Transportation Fund and the Saskatchewan Parks & Recreation Association’s Parks for All grant, whose contributions made these improvements possible. Special thanks to Brock Riley and his Grade 10 shop class, who designed and constructed the new Story Stroll signs, to Marv Pickering Bobcat Services for drilling holes and placing posts, and to Mr. Riley and the Town staff for completing the installation of the signs.
A heartfelt thank you also goes out to Janice and Kendra Krietemeyer, who took it upon themselves to beautify the view from Janice’s window and, in doing so, brought even more beauty to Scott Park. Their thoughtful planting of lilies and marigolds around the park sign adds a personal, colourful touch that will be enjoyed by all who pass by.
These enhancements are part of a larger vision to create a vibrant, accessible, and inclusive green space where residents can gather, play, read, and enjoy the outdoors. We look forward to welcoming you to a renewed Scott Park!
Accessibility Improvements at Porcupine Museum & Porcupine Place Sports Grounds
The Porcupine Plain & District Museum has been making great strides towards improving accessibility for all visitors. Over the past few years, new ramps have been added to the outbuildings, and this year a new sidewalk and a designated accessible loading/unloading area have been installed, which will greatly improve access to and use of the backyard and outbuildings.
This project was made possible thanks to funding from the Government of Canada’s Enabling Accessibilities Fund (Small Projects) and the Museum Association of Saskatchewan, as well as the generous fundraising efforts of the Museum board and Parkland Co-op. Special thanks to Dave Steiestol for completing the installation.
And that’s not all — thanks to the New Horizons for Seniors Program funding, accessible loading and unloading zones will soon be added to the ball diamonds and race tracks at the Sports Grounds.
We are excited to keep making our community more inclusive and accessible for all!
