Manitou Beach Hike/Snowshoe & Hot Springs

Manitou Beach is about 1h20min from Saskatoon. We are connecting 3 different trails around and through the village, to make 10km. I'm thinking it's probably going to be a hike through a little snow. Traction devices like Yaktraks or Kahtoola microspikes could be useful. However if there's a lot of snow it will be a snowshoe. I will update this closer to the date.

Bring snacks and a lunch to eat on the trail. Hot drink in a thermos is great. Bring warm layers to put on at rest stops. Hand warmers are useful. Some trails are sheltered, and some are open to the wind. It's gonna be winter soon. Remember winter?

We will be returning to the cars before we hit the pool so no need to carry your swimming gear on the hike. The hot springs pool is in Manitou Beach Resort Hotel. There are several different areas in the pool, most are shallow, and you don’t need to know how to swim. Pool costs $20 if you bring your own towel. And of course, don’t forget your swim suit. Flips flops are useful but not necessary. We will spend a couple of hours there. There’s a snack bar next to the pool. Bring a water bottle to the pool, there is a water fountain. And sitting in the hot pool makes you thirsty.

We’ll meet at 8:00am at the Tim Horton’s(Clarence Ave) in Stonebridge and carpool. I aim to be heading home by 4:30pm. If the weather is really bad, I'll do a local alternative.
