Blackstrap is a provincial reservoir located 40 km south of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan's largest city. Blackstrap Reservoir, created for irrigation and recreation, has become a popular kitesurfing spot thanks to its proximity to Saskatoon and regular conditions. Blackstrap Provincial Park offers camping, a beach and even a ski hill (the 1971 Canada Winter Games were held here). The flat prairie terrain ensures excellent wind. Most accessible spot from Saskatoon.
