Welcome to Riverbend Trading Post – Sunflower U-Pick Farm, Disc Golf Course & Campground!
We’re a proudly family-run destination located just 30 minutes northeast of Lloydminster, SK, along the scenic North Saskatchewan River. At Riverbend, we grow sunshine and smiles — offering guests a chance to connect with nature through our 5-acre Sunflower U-Pick Farm, professional disc golf course, and off-grid RV campground.
Our main crop is sunflowers, planted in stages to extend bloom time from mid-summer through early fall. Visitors can stroll through golden rows, pick their own sunflowers, and take stunning photos. We’ve also introduced companion crops like pumpkins and watermelons to round out the farm-fresh experience.
Beyond farming, we’re proud to offer outdoor recreation and relaxation. Try your hand at our 18-hole PDGA-sponsored disc golf course, explore scenic trails, or enjoy camping while relaxing by a crackling fire under the stars. Our off-grid sites offer peace, privacy, and a unique escape into the beauty of the prairies.
During Saskatchewan Open Farm Days, we invite you to experience all that Riverbend has to offer — from flowers and fresh air to fun and family-friendly activities. Whether you’re here for a visit, a round of disc golf, or a weekend getaway, you’re always welcome at the bend in the river.
