Description

Located 20 minutes northeast of Moose Jaw, Buffalo Pound Provincial Park offers a balanced blend of nature and recreational opportunities. Once used by First Nations to corral bison, the park maintains a captive herd in a paddock that's situated among the area's scenic rolling hills.

A great location for day-trips and multiple-night camping alike, Buffalo Pound is the perfect choice for your next visit.
