Things to do
Nature Walks / Biking Trails
Throw on your walking shoes and enjoy a scenic, peaceful walk in nature on our over 5 kms of maintained nature trails. A great way to escape the noise of city life and enjoy the serenity of the outdoors. The trails cover beautifully grassed areas overlooking Katepwa Lake, and carve into the lush green treed areas as well as open native prairie land.
Star Gazing
Far enough from the city lights, enjoy an uninterrupted and stunning view of the night sky, while exploring for fireflies in the valley! With a small observatory planned for the future, in the meantime bring your own and have the sky to yourself!
Bird / Wildlife Watching
Submerse yourself in the sights and sounds of nature. Enjoy the peace of nature with the wildlife that encompasses the Qu’Appelle Valley. Our rental sites over-look a coulee and Katepwa Lake, which is a wonderful and diverse natural habitat for a variety of bird species. There’s a good chance you may have your morning coffee in the Tent'zebo or Cabin with deer out front, or a Bald Eagle soaring overhead in its natural habitat!
Kids play center
The playhouse is called the "Play Palace" for a reason! It's an enclosed space where kids can go, rain or shine! The play activity center also includes a swing set, monkey bar set, large sandbox with diggers, and zip lines. The playhouse is also fully outfitted with a chalk board, mini library, board games and more! Pictures to come Spring 2026!
Lake Access
Unique to Katepwa Scenic Rentals is that our guests have direct lake access and their own private beach. On those hot July days, wander down to the natural sandy beach with a book and enjoy a refreshing swim in the lake. Kayaks are available for rental, or feel free to bring your own. Rainy day? Make the short 10 minute drive to Fort Qu’Appelle for some small town shopping or enjoy their Farmer’s Market every Saturday during the summer months.
Northern Lights
With the explosion of Northern Light activity as of recently recently (fall 2025), there is no better place to experience a solar storm than West Katepwa Scenic Rentals! With unobstructed northerly views, and low light pollution, you'll be guaranteed the best seat in the house!
