That is 77 percent of the 22 routes we map in Saskatchewan. They are shorter than the local average, 2.3 km against 3.3 km, which is what makes this a practical shortlist for a half day. They also climb less than the area average, 50 m (164 ft) against 73 m (240 ft), so they suit a recovery day or a group with mixed fitness.
Short routes for a spare couple of hours, an evening walk, or a day when the weather only gives you a window. Most of these are on the gentler end, which makes the list a good starting point if you are new to the area. A good share of them are loops, so you can park once and finish where you started.
