The Backroads of Estevan Tour is designed to inspire Estevan residents and visitors as another option to safely explore the community and its surroundings. The tour is a free, self-guided audio tour, an adventure on gravel! It has 25 stops filled with historical sites, fantastic lookouts and local folklore.
To get the full guided experience, users can download an app, or web-based version from the website. The app is set up with geofences. The audio will tell participants where to turn and is filled with little tidbits of information. If users don’t want to download the app, they can follow along on the web-based version, but please note the web-based version doesn’t have geofencing, so users will have to hit play at each stop automatically.
The Backroads Tour starts at the Estevan Leisure Centre. It takes about 1.5 hours to complete, but may take longer if users decide to get out of their vehicles and explore the stops, which is encouraged.
