Weyburn Tourism

We stop at all little libraries... Found Dots Reading Nook over on Signal Hill, just a block or so from the Tommy Douglas Performing Arts Centre. Looked like a great selection so we traded one of the books that we keep in the car just for moments like this. Check this one out or go scouting for the other two in town There’s one on Staveley Crescent and McGillivray Drive ... 700 block 4th Street S #exploreweyburn

When it’s cold or windy outside and you feel like snuggling up with a good book, our local library has many options for you page turners, finger swipers and listen all-dayers from the real-thing-in-your-hand to the digital or audio version, there’s lots to explore and access with a library card. And for the Saskatchewanian in you, here is a list of some good reads from Saskatchewan authors including book award winners to add to your list!

Saskatchewan's southeast is somewhat of a fisherman's dream... once the lakes and rivers freeze over, it's common in these parts to see ice shacks popping up and folks casting their line, testing their luck and seeing what they can reel in. In the Weyburn area, it's not uncommon to catch Northern Pike, Walleye or Perch - here's a few places right at home or a short drive away where you can experience this prairie past time. Nickle Lake: only five minutes east of Weyburn on... Highway #39. During the off season when the park is closed you can find access to the lake south of the park turnoff. NLRP would like to remind people to be safe, watch their surroundings, check the ice, and be respectful. They also ask that people refrain from quadding and ski-doing within the park as it can cause damage. Mainprize Regional Park - Ice fishing is a great pastime and the Rafferty Reservoir has produced numerous record catches that anglers will debate for some time to come. Approx a 45 min drive, head southeast on Hwy 39 towards Estevan, turn south at Halbrite on the 705 and follow the signs to Mainprize. Avonlea Reservoir is a popular fishing spot during both the winter and summer months. Avonlea Reservoir offers easy access and good fishing. From Weyburn its approx a 1 hr drive, NW on Hwy 39 until SK 334 (between Milestone & Wilcox - watch for signs to Avonlea) * Please follow all Saskatchewan fishing guidelines and regulations and ensure proper ice thickness and safety.
