When including its longest tributary, the South Saskatchewan River, the Saskatchewan River is the fourth-longest river in Canada.

The Saskatchewan River was a major transportation route for First Nations for thousands of years and was an instrumental transportation and resource corridor during the fur trade and early European exploration.
