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!

Community Hosts First Cardboard Box Derby
Great ideas often strike at unexpected moments, and that’s exactly what happened in the early morning hours of December 16th when Brent Digness, Metis Nation SK ERII Regional Representative, had a burst of inspiration. From that spark, the first-ever Cardboard Box Derby in Porcupine Plain came to life, bringing a wave of excitement and holiday cheer to the community.
Held on December 23rd at the QCP Sliding Hill, the event featured not only the highly anticipated derby but also sledding, sleigh rides, and plenty of festive fun. Families and children gathered with their handcrafted cardboard sleds, ready to race and enjoy a day filled with laughter, competition, and, of course, bragging rights. The turnout was fantastic, with the community coming together to support the event. Burgers, hot dogs, and steaming cups of hot chocolate kept everyone warm as they cheered on the racers.
It was a heartwarming sight to see the joy and creativity on display, as well as the sense of unity among residents. Special thanks go out to Metis Nation Saskatchewan Eastern Region II for hosting, and to the Town of Porcupine Plain and local businesses and individuals who made the event possible, including Slobodian Pharmacy, Parkland Co-op, Fields, Affinity Credit Union, Johnston Agencies, Tumax Towing & Service, Supergloss Autobody, Porcupine Accounting, DJ Sonny, and Salmond Racing. Credit for the event photos goes to George Kays and Jayden Johnson.
We’re grateful to the community for helping create cherished Christmas memories for the youth of Porcupine Plain. With such an incredible debut, we’re already looking forward to making the Cardboard Box Derby a beloved annual tradition! Stay tuned for next year’s derby—where the creativity, competition, and fun will only grow. Thank you for making this first event a resounding success!
