ABOUT PRAIRIE HOUSEBOAT

Prairie House Boat is 40’ houseboat purchased in the spring of 1998 by Earle & Betty Berg. It was transported from Lake Diefenbaker in Saskatchewan and was placed on the Lake of the Prairies in the summer of 1998. Earle and Betty offered Day trips and Overnight Trips to seniors and families. His own family and their friends spent many hours cruising the Lake of the Prairies. Earle passed on suddenly in June 2000 so the Berg Family decided that they could not take on the business of the houseboat and sold to Ron and Karen Tibble. They operated the business until 2008. Ben Hofer, a long time friend of Earle’s and Betty’s, purchased the business and will be operating it from the dock at Asessippi Provincial Park. Captain Ben will offer his clients the experience of the Prairie Houseboat fulfilling his friend Earle’s dream.

WELCOME TO THE PRAIRIE HOUSEBOAT HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE

Prairie Houseboat operates on Lake of the Prairies which a man-made lake which crosses the provincial border into Saskatchewan. Lake of the Prairies was the result of the construction of the Shellmouth Dam, built in 1968 to control flooding upstream on the Assiniboine River. It fills a 67 km ( 42 mile ) stretch of the Assiniboine River valley. Electrical campsites and fishing are available. You can also trek along the self-guiding Ancient Valley trail or enjoy the designated swimming area. The Trans Canada Trail follows the valley. Asessippi Ski Area and Winter Park is located just east of the lake.
