73km from Frog Lake National Historic Site · 6 sites · Tents, RVs
Do It Again Ranch Adventures is a 160 acres property on the Canadian prairies. We are surrounded by grain farming activity, although this is significant cattle country also. Our property is divided roughly in thirds - 1/3 pasture for the livestock, 1/3 trees and bush, and 1/3 hayfield. There is a waterway that runs though our property creating many ponds or sloughs. None of these are big enough for canoeing but do attract wildlife and birds.
We are offering sleigh/wagon rides or trail rides on the farm land. During the summer we host the petting zoo and goat yoga. We have horses, goats, rabbits and a milk cow for livestock. We encourage people to interact with the livestock if they wish.
The city of Lloydminster is only 12 minutes away. It has a population of 21, 000 with all the amenities and attractions of a small city. One of its distinctions is being a city that straddles both the Saskatchewan and Alberta provincial borders.

2 nights at Everlong Acres
This spot is a true gem with everything you could possibly need for your trip. The tent is so spacious and well maintained. The bed is super comfortable, and using the heater on the chilly mornings was a life saver. The hosts are so welcoming and accommodating, and communication was so easy with quick responses. Absolutely recommend booking your next trip here.

Weekend Trip to Everlong Acres
We loved our stay! The amenities were great, and the tent was super cute and cozy. We loved all the provided games, and the binder with the recommendations for stuff to do around the area! There were a lot of spiders, but they mostly stayed out of our way. Would definitely recommend staying here — just remember to bring some bug spray!

Overview
About
Just inside the Alberta border, the site of this tragic event is laden with memories of lives lived and lost: archaeological remains, a cemetery, and depressions in the earth representing the church, the mill, the milk house, stables… remnants of old wagon trails still exist. Frog Lake became a rallying cry for the Canadian Militia who were sent west to deal with the rising conflicts. Frustrated with the Canadian Government, especially the provision of food rations, Kah-Paypamhchukwao, also known as Wandering Spirit, and other warriors take control of Mishtahimaskwa’s (also known as Big Bear’s) Cree band and come to Frog Lake to take up issues with the Indian Agent. Tension erupts in the small settlement and nine people are killed and the rest taken hostage. The deaths at Frog Lake drive the Canadian Government to take a stronger law and order stance in the West.
When to go
The best time to visit Frog Lake National Historic Site is during the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn, when the weather is pleasant for outdoor activities. Winter can be harsh, with heavy snowfall and cold temperatures, making some areas less accessible.
