The following is a list of tributaries of the Whitesand River from the upper to lower watershed:
Whitesand River Recreation Site is a reserve and conservation area along the banks of the Whitesand River. It is in the Rural Municipality of Good Lake No. 274 along Highway 9, about south of Canora, and just north of where the Wallace Creek joins the Whitesand River.[7] [8]
Whitesand Regional Park, which is part of Saskatchewan's Regional Park system, is located just off the Yellowhead Highway at Theodore[9] on the shore of Theodore Reservoir.
