Piapot pronunciation: /ˈpaɪəpɒt/ is a small village located in the southwest part of the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. Once a thriving community, it has seen a steady decline since the 1950s and in the present day it resembles a ghost town. The hotel and saloon had been closed since June 2006 but has reopened in May 2008, embracing the western heritage and culture. The Piapot Saloon and Guesthouse offers an escape from every day life in the spirit of the original settlers as well as a gift shop and old western saloon. The only other business that is open to the public is the post office.
