Cypress Hills Park seals busy summer season
Park officials report Cypress Hills Provincial Park in southwestern Saskatchewan enjoyed a busy summer with 41 cabins and eight lodge rooms fully used. A new trailer court for 20 trailers saw heavy occupancy while electric hookups and toilets were added. Visitors used kitchens, tables, and camping gear, and many swam in the heated pool or at two beach areas on Loch Leven Lake. Trout fishing thrived in nearby streams and Cypress Lake, with Loch Leven stocked, and Loch Lomond to be stocked later if conditions permit. The park hosted numerous organized camps from churches, Boy Scouts, Cubs, and Girl Guides.
