Foam Lake Trails 
Photos of Canora Trails from: Tourism Saskatchewan (2017)
This segment of trail near Foam Lake, Saskatchewan is part of the Quill Lakes International Bird Area, which was established and is managed by Ducks Unlimited Canada to provide protected wetland marshes for our province’s waterfowl species. There are two main components to this protected region – the Foam Lake Nature Centre and the Foam Lake Heritage Marsh, which includes the Lure Crop, Bertdale, and Johnson Viewing Areas.
The Foam Lake Nature Center is located in Foam Lake on Hwy 16. It features a waterfowl diorama, an interactive map of the Heritage Marsh, interpretive displays and an activity centre for children. A short hiking trail next to the Centre allows visitors to view songbirds while strolling beside Milligan Creek, the headwaters of Quill Lakes. An Internet Café, picnic area, camping and rest stop services are also available at the Centre.
The three self-guided viewing areas around the Foam Lake Heritage Marsh also offer great opportunities to spot wildlife, as well as to learn about the area’s Icelandic history. Each site features walking trails, lookouts, interpretive signage and a washroom. (Note that some of these areas may not be accessible between late August and November due to the operation of waterfowl feeding stations and lure crops.)
To access the Lure Crop Viewing Area, travel 5.6 km west of Foam Lake and turn north. Continue on foot along Vatnabyggd Trail to access the marsh monument, view grassland birds and learn about Icelandic history. The Vatnabyggd Trail also connects to the Bertdale Viewing Area, which can be accessed by road by traveling 8 km north of Foam Lake on Hwy 310, then 2.4 km west. From here, you can explore grasslands and woodlands along the Engitrod Trail, and visit the Bertdale Pioneer School, or go west along Vatnabyggd Trail to the DUC dam site.
The Johnson Viewing Area is located on the northern tip of the Foam Lake Heritage Marsh, and can be reached by travelling 11.2 km north of Foam Lake on Hwy 310, then 3.2 west and 0.4 km south. A tower at the site provides a panoramic view of the marsh, and the area also offers a place to launch a canoe.
Some of the species you may encounter along the trails in this area are American white pelicans, great blue herons, snow geese, deer, coyotes, amphibians, black-crowned night herons, tundra swans, common goldeneyes, sandhill cranes, short-eared owls, and more! Visitors are encouraged to bring binoculars and wear sturdy footwear. They are also asked to limit walking to trails, viewing towers and boardwalks, and to avoid nesting areas.
In the nearby community of Foam Lake, visitors will also find restaurants, accommodations (including a campground), grocery stores, shopping, a pool, golf course, and more.
In 2020 with support from the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association, STA, Town of Foam Lake and Foam Lake RM, trail volunteers were able to replace signage, update boardwalks and platforms, and place new identifying and directional markers and signs. They also built a bird blind for visitors to use to watch migration.
