About
St. Victor Petroglyphs Provincial Historic Park is a historical provincial park in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The park is located in the RM of Willow Bunch No. 42, about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) south of St. Victor. The 3.9 ha (9.6 acres) park is situated on the northern slope of the Wood Mountain Upland on a cliff at the top of a partially wooded coulee. The Wood Mountain Hills are a plateau east of the Cypress Hills along the Missouri Coteau in the semi-arid Palliser's Triangle. The site was designated as an historic site in the 1960s and became a provincial park in 1986. St. Victor Petroglyphs Provincial Historic Park features over 360 petroglyphs that have been estimated to have been carved between AD 200 and 1750. They are on a large sandstone outcrop and are the only known example of horizontal petroglyphs on the Canadian Prairies. They also represent the largest concentration of pre-contact rock art in Saskatchewan.
