Medicine Hat is Canada’s sunniest city, which means more hot days out there enjoying the lovely weather from your favourite place, the boat. There’s nothing better on a hot summer day than a dip in the lake or tubing behind the boat. One of the nice things about Medicine Hat is the close proximity to water. The South Saskatchewan River runs right through town and can be easily accessed by public boat launches at both Strathcona Island Park and Echo Dale Regional Park. With lots of warm weather and close proximity to water, Medicine Hat is a great place to own a boat. Of course, if you feel like taking your boat out of town, you can head south an hour to Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park and do some waterskiing and wakeboarding on Elkwater Lake. Whatever your summer boating activities include, be sure you have the right boat insurance coverage.
