White Butte Trails Recreation Site[1] is a cross-country ski area in the RM of Edenwold No. 158[2] in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The name "White Butte" is an amalgamation of the nearby communities of White City and Pilot Butte. The park is about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) north of White City and 20 minutes east of Regina in a region referred to as White Butte. The ski area consists of ten groomed trails with varying levels of difficulty. During the off season, when the snow melts, the area is transformed into a hiking and cycling area.[3] The park is part of the Trans Canada Trail system and is under the jurisdiction of Saskatchewan's Ministry of Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport.
Access is from Frank Lake Road, which runs south from Highway 48 to Highway 1.[4]
