Wood Mountain, Saskatchewan

Wood Mountain (2016 population: 20) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Old Post No.

Its name is derived from the Red River Métis words "montagne de bois" (meaning mountain of wood in French), due to the abundance of poplar trees in the otherwise barren region.

[11] Historically, Wood Mountain's economy has relied mainly on the agriculture industry.

The community still has strong roots to farming and ranching, but with its location and rich history, tourism has become a main industry.

The region has accommodations, such as hotels and bed and breakfasts,[12] a cafe restaurant, outdoor pool, library, community hall, churches, museums, campgrounds, and parks.
