As of the end of today, Sept 30th, the park is officially closed for the season! 🍁

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who spent time with us this year. Here’s a quick look back at some favorite snapshots highlighting the beauty of our park throughout the season. 📸

Have a great fall and winter—we can't wait to welcome you back next year! ❤️

Fall is (almost) here, but bur season is officially upon us! 🌾🐾

These spiky green seed pods on the wild licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza lepidota) are getting ready to turn brown, dry out, and hitch a free ride on your dog’s fur 🐕✨

The official first day of autumn arrives on September 22, but the trail burs aren't waiting for the calendar! 🍂👀

Watch those paws and happy hiking! 🥾🐶🍁

Though we may not have enjoyed the rain over the last couple of days, this guy sure did! 🐸🌧️

Spotted out soaking up the moisture, this Northern Leopard Frog (Lithobates pipiens) was making the most of the damp weather. In Southern Saskatchewan, these frogs thrive around our local wetlands, streams, and grassy meadows.

While they are a classic prairie sight, the Western Boreal/Prairie population is classified as a species of Special Concern (S3 Vulnerable) by the Saskatchewan Conservation Data Centre. Wet days like these give them a safe chance to travel across land and hunt for insects.

Did you spot any leaping friends enjoying the rain this week? Let us know in the comments! 👇

⚠️ WARNING: Spider content ahead! 🕷️

I was just trying to shoot a nice video, but this little Orb-weaver had other plans and let me know IMMEDIATELY. 😭 Make sure to watch till the end... and I promise I’m not still screaming. Happy Friday! 🤣✨

Just a reminder! Our grounds workers would very much appreciate it! Thank you.

Spotted at the park: Bullsnake (Pituophis catenifer sayi)! 🐍🌾

Despite their impressive size—often reaching up to 6 feet long—these prairie residents are harmless to humans and completely non-venomous. They make fantastic neighbors by keeping local rodent populations in check!

Cool Bullsnake Facts:

🔹The Ultimate Impersonator: When threatened, a Bullsnake will vibrate its tail in dry leaves, flatten its head, and hiss loudly through a special vocal flap to mimic a deadly rattlesnake. It’s all a harmless bluff!

🔹Built-in Shovel: They have a specialized, enlarged nose scale designed specifically to help them dig into soil and excavate burrows.

🔹Prairie Giants: As one of Canada's longest snake species, seeing one of these gentle giants gliding across the grass is always an awesome sight.

Give them a little space if you spot one out on the grounds—they’re hard at work keeping the ecosystem in balance! 🌿✨

Adding a little color to the understory! 🌸✨

The Showy Aster (Eurybia conspicua) is in full bloom. Recognizable by its lavender ray petals and large, toothed leaves, this hardy perennial is one of our most important late-summer nectar sources for native pollinators.

Keep an eye out for these vibrant purple patches next time you hit the trails! 🌿

Past vs. Present: The Chokecherry Edition. 🍇✨

Centuries ago, chokecherries were a key ingredient in traditional pemmican, powering people through harsh seasons. Today, we’re turning that signature tartness into delicious jellies, syrups, and even local craft wines (shoutout to Cypress Hills Winery!).

Just remember: while the fruit is great for treating your tastebuds, never eat the raw seeds or pits, as they contain natural toxins.

Nature’s tart little miracle fruit still going strong. 🌿

Today is the perfect day for a hike at Jean Louis Legare Regional Park! 🌿

The weather is just right—not too hot, not too cold. Take a walk up from the shaded forest understory to the top of the coulees for incredible views of the glacial-carved hills. From there, hop onto the connecting loop trail to wind your way right back down to your campsite.

Happy trails! 🥾☀️
