What is the open-water cottage season?
Saskatchewan lakes typically thaw in late April or early May and freeze over by mid-November. Open-water season runs roughly May through October. Ice fishing season runs December through March. Most cottage usage clusters around the May-to-September window, though year-round residency on winterized properties is increasingly common.
