Campers heading for Rowan’s Ravine Provincial Park will have a smoother ride.
The Saskatchewan government cut the ribbon Thursday to celebrate $10.7 million worth of new paving and road improvements at the park about an hour’s drive north of Regina, as well as the highways leading to it.
“Highways 322 and 220 are essential gateways to those traveling to Rowan’s Ravine and the surrounding area,” Highways Minister Fred Bradshaw said in a media release. “These improvements keep our roads safe so that families and visitors can enjoy their time in our parks.”
Work was done on Highway 322 from just north of the Glen Harbour access road to the junction with Highway 220, then on Highway 220 west to Rowan’s Ravine.
Inside the park, paving was done in the Underwood campground loops, the boat launch and the day use parking lot.
“COVID-19 has shown us that the best place to get away from it all is in our provincial parks,” Last Mountain-Touchwood MLA Travis Keisig said in the release.
“This infrastructure investment benefits all of Saskatchewan by getting people back to work and providing a better experience for all those who come and enjoy our parks.”
