Mushroom hunting
Morels are an edible gourmet mushroom that can be found in the boreal forest surrounding Fort Smith. They are highly prized not only for their nutty flavour and meaty texture, but also for the thrill of the hunt to find them.
In the Fort Smith area, the morel hunting season generally runs from early June to the end of July, peaking at the end of June. Daily temperatures have to be at least +15 degrees Celsius and night-time temperatures have to be at least +5 degrees Celsius.
