Rowan's Ravine Provincial Park[1] is a provincial park in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is on the eastern shore of Last Mountain Lake near a coulee named Rowan's Ravine (50°59′11″N 105°09′03″W / 50.9865°N 105.1509°W / 50.9865; -105.1509)[2] in the RM of McKillop No. 220. Highway 220 provides access to the park[3] and the town of Strasbourg is about 25 kilometres (16 mi) away. The hamlet of Uhl's Bay is less than a mile away just off of Highway 220.[4]

In 2021, $10.7 million was spent upgrading highways in and around the park, including Highway 322 north from Glen Harbour to Highway 220 and from Highway 220 to the park. Inside the park, the Underwood Campground loops, boat launch, and day-use parking lot were also paved.[5][6]
