The drive to Bear Claw

Bear Claw Casino & Hotel stands on Highway 9, on White Bear First Nations, north of the town of Carlyle. The site is in the Moose Mountains of southeast Saskatchewan. In a straight line, it is 14 km from Carlyle. That is a line on a map, so the road is longer.

Mail goes to Box 1210, Carlyle SK S0C 0R0. Parking is at no charge, and the casino says there is plenty of it. The casino phone is 306-577-4577.

Three towns sit within 25 km of the casino in a straight line. Carlyle is 14 km south, Arcola 20 km southwest and Wawota 25 km northeast. The next ring starts at 45 km. Kipling is 45 km northwest, Redvers 48 km southeast and Stoughton 54 km west. Oxbow lies 60 km south, and Moosomin 62 km northeast.

Cities are farther out. Estevan is 85 km southwest and Weyburn 113 km west. Regina lies 182 km to the northwest, Moose Jaw 242 km west. From Saskatoon the line is 404 km, to the northwest. Each figure is a straight line between two map points, and roads are longer than these lines.

Six places near the casino are reached by car. Moose Mountain Provincial Park and Cannington Manor Provincial Historic Park are two of them. The Red Market Barn and Sask Aquatic Adventures are also on that list. For golf, there are White Bear Lake Golf Course and Golf Kenosee. This page does not give distances to them, only to towns.

The Moose Mountain area has poplar and birch trees and rolling hills. Its trails are used for hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling. The area also offers camping, boating, swimming, tennis and golf. Check each place's own hours before setting out.
