Kinistino /kɪˈnɪstɪnoʊ/ is a town in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Kinistino is situated in north-central Saskatchewan. It lies on rich agricultural soil in the valley of the Carrot River, which flows a mile east of the town. Kinistino is located 30 kilometres (19 mi) northwest of Melfort on Highway 3 and 65 kilometres (40 mi) southeast of Prince Albert.

Geography

The town of Kinistino rests upon a bedrock of shale in an area of maximum glacial lake coverage.

Kinistino is located in the Aspen parkland biome. The immediate area is one of moderate rolling hills and level stretches. The excellent soil is interspersed occasionally with bluffs of aspen and some sloughs. To the southwest lies the Waterhen Marsh and Lake (now drained and utilized for various farming purposes), while to the north approximately 32 kilometres (20 mi) the Saskatchewan River and the Forks of the North and South branches provide a beautiful spot of coniferous forest growth.[citation needed]

Climate

Like in the rest of Saskatchewan, Kinistino experiences a high variance in the seasonal temperatures. However, Kinistino is not in an area of high storm activity and usually experiences only 3 blizzards per year (as compared to Saskatoon 7, and Qu'Appelle 14). Fewer thunderstorms are experienced in Kinistino than in the south of Saskatchewan.

The frost-free period extends, on a 30-year average, from June 1 to September 6; hours of sunshine amount to 2,280. The precipitation averages are: rain 271.0 millimetres (10.67 in); and snowfall 131.0 centimetres (51.6 in).
