[4] The park is home to the historic Goodwin House[5] and notable crossing of the South Saskatchewan River.

[6] The location is believed to be a former Métis river crossing and part of the historic Swift Current-Battleford Trail.

There are many pieces of evidence supporting the theory: ruts left from the Red River carts crossing the river, teepee rings, trails, and the Goodwin House (a large stone building built by Frank Goodwin in 1897).

It is believed that in the early 1900s, Saskatchewan Landing became a stop-over point for travellers, supported by the Goodwin House.

[8] There are also three main interpretive hiking trails: Prairie Vista, Ridges and Ravines, and Rings, Ruts & Remnants within the park.
