Fort Saskatchewan Travel Guide

Welcome to Fort Saskatchewan!

Situated on the shores of the mighty North Saskatchewan River, only 17km (11mi) northeast of the Edmonton city limits, Fort Saskatchewan has an idyllic country-style setting with a convenient location, plus all the amenities of the big city. Several large industries operate plants here, including Dow Chemical, which has given back to the community by establishing the Dow Centennial Centre, a popular venue for concerts and performances. Having been established by the North West Mounted Police in 1875, the community of Fort Saskatchewan is steeped in rich history. To experience this history first hand, visitors can head to one of the city's historic sites, including the Old Courthouse at the Fort Saskatchewan Museum and the original fort. On a warm summer's day, be sure to head down to the river valley, where parks and pathways round off any getaway to this tranquil location. Also be sure to check out Legacy Park, where 50 sheep graze from June to September.
