Discover Roblin: Trails, Lakes and Recreation

Roblin offers several ways to spend time outdoors: the Crocus Trail, walking paths and lakes sit alongside opportunities for swimming, baseball and curling. You can plan your trip around whether you’d rather explore a longer route, fish by the water or include a range of recreational activities. When choosing a vacation rental in Roblin, it’s worth first considering which of these interests you want to shape your stay.

Trail and walking path

The Crocus Trail is 136 km (85 miles) long and can be accessed in Roblin from the downtown business district. Its total length gives you a concrete reference point for planning your trip without prescribing a particular day’s distance.

For a shorter walk, there is a 1-mile trail in Currey Park. The same park has three baseball diamonds and nesting areas for waterfowl. These offer different reasons to consider the park, whether you’re interested in a walk, baseball or waterfowl habitats. Each is a separate point of interest; they don’t indicate how long you should plan to spend on a visit.

Fishing and water

East Goose Lake is a small, aerated lake covering 15 hectares in the Town of Roblin. Fishing is available there for anglers of all experience levels. Its modest size and fishing opportunities give the lake a different profile from a long hiking route: if you’re interested in fishing, you can make it a specific part of your choice of destinations and activities.

There is a boat launch at West Goose Lake. It’s a specific point of interest for visitors interested in boating. When looking for your vacation rental, you can first decide whether trails, fishing or boating are your main consideration, rather than assuming these options are all part of one shared experience.

Recreational activities in Roblin

The Roblin Leisure Aquatic Centre has a Junior Olympic-sized swimming pool. In addition, the Municipality of Roblin’s Recreation Department offers various Swim for Life programs from the Lifesaving Society each summer starting in June. The pool and seasonal programs are two distinct aspects of the offering.

The Roblin Curling Rink also offers an opportunity to participate: Friday evenings are set aside for curling for all ages and skill levels. This may be of interest if you’re looking for a group activity that welcomes people with different levels of experience. Together with swimming and the baseball diamonds, curling adds to the range of options beyond hiking and water activities.

A trip to the surrounding area

The Keystone Pioneers Museum is located 6 km east of Roblin on Highway 5. It displays agricultural equipment from the pioneer era. This offers a cultural focus alongside outdoor activities and recreational offerings in Roblin. If you’re interested in agricultural history, you can consider a visit to the museum as a separate item on your itinerary.
