Crane Valley is located in the Prairies Province of Saskatchewan in Canada.

It is surrounded by nature and world wonders. From lakes saltier than the Dead Sea and clear as glass, to one of the world’s largest glacial pushed hills.

Explore the culture, history, and beauty of Crane Valley.

Oro Lake is home to the North-West Mounted Police’s Camp Norris, the Oro Lake Park and a stopover point for officers who patrolled the hills region.

This small lake was formed by the melting glacier and is saltier than the Dead Sea because of its Sodium Sulphate desposits. It is also rich in firebrick clay deposits.

Saskatchewan has a wealth of bird-watching opportunities ranging from the fall migration of waterfowl to the spring rush of songbirds and shorebirds. Birding Trail sites offer you a chance to see endangered species such as Piping Plovers, Sage Grouse, Burrowing Owls, and even the Whooping Crane as it stops over in Saskatchewan during its spring and fall migrations.

The extensive grasslands in the valley attract various rare species such as the Ferruginous Hawk, Long-billed Curlew and Loggerhead Shrike, as well as the endangered Burrowing Owl.

The Claybank Brick Plant National Historic Site, located near Claybank, Saskatchewan at the foot of the Dirt Hills in the Rural Municipality of Elmsthorpe No. 100, was an operational brick manufacturing plant from 1914–1989. Bricks manufactured at the site have been used to construct prominent Canadian buildings such as the Bessborough Hotel in Saskatoon and the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City. The site was designated as a National Historic Site in 1996 and remains one of Canada’s greatest examples of early twentieth century industrialism.

The Big Muddy badlands are an amazing spectacle of nature’s architecture and conjure up images of outlaws from the “wild west.”

The natural architecture and desert like landscape are unique in the province. There really isn’t anything like the Big Muddy.

Tours are offered during summer of the trails and caves where outlaws like Sam Kelly once walked and sheltered in.
