I visited "Dog River" (Rouleau SK) in early September. It was a bit of a drive from Minnesota. I had some interaction with the locals and I found them to be very friendly and informative. I took photos of the main buildings used in the Movie & TV show and some of the surrounding country side. The post office has free corner gas post cards with a town map & the "Dog River Hotel" has post cards & bumper stickers for sale. If you mail your post cards from the Rouleau post office they will stamp them as mailed from Dog River. The Police Station is now a private residence but the Howler, Hotel, Post Office, Ice Arena and grain elevator all appear to have their original signage. There is also a bank and a real gas station in the town. The Dog River Hotel opens at 11:00 am for Lunch. The Ruby/Corner Gas set on the edge of town appear a little worse for wear but are at least they are still in their original colors. I wrapped up my visit with lunch at the Dog River Hotel.
