Paynton No. 470 sets you on the big-sky horizon along Highway 16, moments from Maidstone and within an easy drive of North Battleford and Lloydminster. Rolling fields meet the North Saskatchewan River valley here, where the provincially operated Paynton crossing is part of everyday life; check hours and seasonal updates via the Government of Saskatchewan’s ferries information pages (Paynton Ferry details are listed under ferries on the province’s site).
Families benefit from the strong programming of the Northwest School Division No. 203, with students commonly bussed to Maidstone for elementary and high school. Small classes, practical electives, and competitive athletics reflect the area’s hands-on, community-first approach to education.
Weekends offer more than fresh air. Swim, camp, and golf at Silver Lake Regional Park, just down the road, or carve turns at Table Mountain Regional Park when the snow flies. History buffs can make a day trip to Fort Battleford National Historic Site to explore the stories that shaped the region. Closer to home, farmgate produce, community halls, and local rinks keep calendars full year-round.
