Below, we’ll cover some of the top reasons to visit Prince Albert National Park and Lake Waskesiu in late summer and fall. Read on to learn more!
Spectacular Natural Beauty
Prince Albert National Park is beautiful all year round, but there’s no denying that there’s something extraordinary about the Canadian landscape once autumn arrives. As the dense forests of aspen, birch, and pine begin to shift, the region explodes with vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold. Contrasted against soaring evergreens and crystal blue lakes, Prince Albert National Park becomes a stunning tapestry that’s incredible to explore. Whether you’re into photography, painting, or just want to soak in the different colours on a relaxing hike there are endless ways to bask in the beauty of nature and enjoy your time in the outdoors.
Pleasant Weather
While Canadians love our summer months (and who can blame us with such long winters!) visiting in late summer and early fall gives you plenty of sunshine, as well as cooler temperatures that are ideal for exploring. Fall allows you to hike, bike, and adventure in less intense heat, and the gentle breeze in the air helps you stay comfortable while boating, fishing, or paddling on Lake Waskeisu. We recommend shoulder season guests bring a few layers to ensure they stay as cozy as possible, bearing in mind that Mother Nature always operates on her own schedule regardless of seasonality!
Abundant Wildlife
Even though you may encounter fewer people while visiting during shoulder season, there’s still plenty of wildlife to encounter. Cooler weather and fewer crowds mean you have a higher likelihood of spotting local critters like elk, deer, and bison. Birdwatchers will also be delighted to be able to spy many of the migratory birds that pass through the park during this period.
Peace and Tranquility
If you’re looking to relax and unwind with minimal interruptions, visiting during the fall is ideal. Renting a lakefront cottage on the banks of Lake Waskesiu provides unparalleled tranquillity and quiet, making it easy to rest and relax. Whether you want to meditate, write, read, or just simply be, there’s no better place to unwind!
Stargazing Opportunities
If you’re after a touch of romance and wonder, take advantage of the longer nights that accompany the fall and make the most of the expansive skies that cover Prince Albert National Park, all from the comfort of your cottage. Visitors can marvel at constellations, planets, and even the occasional glimpse of the Northern Lights for a magical experience you’re sure to remember!
