Ferryboat on Wascana

Little did I know that there are ferryboat tours on Wascana Lake and more so that I would actually go on one. There are in fact 2 of these small boats that are used to transport people back and forth to an island that you can rent for weddings or other events. When they aren't shuttling people across and its a nice enough day they will take willing people for a tour and educate them about the lake. Lauren and I decided to go on one. This is Don, our guide and captain of Wasca 1.


This is a view of the city skyline opposite from the legislature. It is the best angle to view the skyline in the city but you need to either be on the water or in the legislature.


Some more views from the lake including the marina, a funky park area with trails that don't really go anywhere and one of the waterfalls. You can walk under this one which is nice on a hot day because you get the mist that cools you off. The last picture is of a benches and lights set that were gifted by someone important at some point in history to each of the provincial capitals. Apparently if you look hard enough you will find this exact set in each Canadian capital city somewhere.


After the tour we did some more exploring until we decided hanging out in the backyard isn't such a bad way to spend a nice summer day either.
