2026 Saskatchewan Trails Photo Contest Winners

Another incredible year of Saskatchewan trail photography is in the books.

Thank you to everyone who entered the 2026 Saskatchewan Trails Photo Contest. This year’s submissions captured peaceful forest paths, sweeping prairie views, family adventures, waterways and some of the remarkable landscapes found across Saskatchewan.

Congratulations to all of this year’s winners, and thank you to every photographer who helped showcase Saskatchewan’s trails through their lens.
