Overview

Rafferty Dam is a reservoir in southeastern Saskatchewan, created by the Rafferty Dam on the Souris River. This prairie reservoir offers accessible kitesurfing conditions with shallow waters and exposure to prairie winds. The flat surrounding terrain ensures regular, unobstructed wind. The reservoir is a popular fishing and recreation destination in the Estevan area. Note: a duplicate exists (ID 9263) at a slightly different location.
