Rowan's Ravine Provincial Park

Rowan's Ravine Provincial Park is a recreation and beach destination situated on the shores of Last Mountain Lake located northwest of the City of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.

Last Mountain Lake is about 100 kilometres long and just over 3 kilometres wide at its widest point. The park is located on the eastern shore of the lake and highlighted by a beautiful long sandy beach, many services and easy access to many water sport activities.

The sandy beach in the park is unique and is one of Saskatchewan's longest sandy beaches. It is unique in that all of the trees are planted by hand. What was once a naked landscape is now a popular green space provincial park.

Established in 1960, the Rowan's Ravine Provincial Park is a well developed and maintained park. The beach area in the park was created around a long sandy point. The sandy point provides protection from the winds therefore there is always one side of the sandy beach protected from the elements.

A popular destination for many summer activities including swimming, beachcombing, sun bathing, kayaking, canoeing, boating, fishing, water skiing, wake boarding, jet boating, sailing, wind surfing, parasailing, birdwatching, hiking and picnicking.

Rowan's Ravine Provincial Park includes a day use area and two full service campgrounds. The day use area includes picnic tables, BBQ pits and a playground. It is located on a large patch of green grass lawn, under a canopy of trees, next to the sandy beach. There are some picnic shelters also available which require booking.

Other services and amenities in the park include a public boat launch, marina, washrooms, cabin rentals and a restaurant, general store and a concession stand serving snacks and drinks during summer hours.

There is a hiking trail within the park ideal for sightseeing, hiking and birdwatching called the Prairie Whispers Trail. It is a self guided trail with information signs and sitting benches exploring a ravine.
