Is there anything worse than packing your bags for a vacation and seeing your pet’s devastated little face because they know you’ll leave them behind? If you’re currently planning a getaway and don’t want to leave your furry friend behind this time, check out Kapasiwin Bungalows!
At Kapasiwin Bungalows in Waskesiu Lake, our pet-friendly cabins are perfect for those who want to explore the great outdoors with their four-legged companions. Here’s why our rental site, nestled in the heart of Prince Albert National Park, is the ultimate destination for a pet-friendly vacation with your best friend.
A Paradise for Pets and Owners Alike
Waskesiu Lake and the provincial park grounds are a natural playground for pets and their owners. The expansive wilderness offers endless opportunities for safe adventures and relaxation with your furry friend, ensuring an unforgettable experience for both you and your pet.
Dog-Friendly Trails and Parks
One of the best things about Prince Albert Provincial Park is the abundance of dog-friendly trails. Whether you’ve got an athletic working breed like a Collie or Shepherd, or a small or senior dog that prefers a more sedate pace, there are trails galore for you both to explore!
For a challenging hike that’ll have you and your pet panting, head to Kingsmere Lake. This trail offers stunning views at the summit and will feel like a reward when you and your pet make it. Or you could take a meander along the scenic Waskesiu River Trail, which winds along the river and offers plenty of beautiful views and opportunities for your dog to splash around in the water.
If you’re looking for something a little more sedate and meditative to suit you and your trail buddy, try out Boundary Bog Trail. This walking path takes you through a unique tamarack bog ecosystem, which offers quiet natural beauty for you and your pet to enjoy together. Fisher Trail is another great option, which takes you near the Waskesiu Lake townsite along the waterfront and through beautiful forests. No matter where you choose to roam, though, make sure you’re courteous and polite about sharing the pathways and that you’re obeying local leash bylaws.
Furry Fun on the Water
If your dog loves the water, Waskesiu Lake is the place to be. Waskesiu’s sandy shores aren’t just for humans, and the pet-friendly beaches allow your dog to run, play, and swim to its heart’s content. Spend a day soaking up the sun, building sandcastles, and making memories with your four-legged family member. The lake’s calm waters are also perfect for a variety of activities that you and your pet can enjoy together, like boating.
There are a couple of options to choose from if your pet likes being on the water. If you want to book a fishing charter for the day, many guides will take your pooch out too. Less about power, more about serenity? Then rent a canoe or kayak and paddle around the lake with your beastly bestie. There are also designated pet-friendly areas all along the lake, where your pup can swim and play- so be sure to pack a ball or frisbee for your beach day. Pets should practice water safety, too, so make sure you pack a flotation vest or life preserver along for your furry friend.
Creature Comfort Cabins and Amenities
The pet-friendly cabins at Kapasiwin Bungalows are designed with you and your pet in mind. Each cabin offers a cozy retreat after a day of adventure, ensuring you both have a comfortable stay. We know that pets are part of the family, so we offer amenities to make their stay as enjoyable as yours. From pet beds to food and water bowls, we’ve got you covered.
Each of our pet-friendly cabins comes equipped with comfy beds, fully outfitted kitchens, and private bathrooms for you and your fur baby to relax and enjoy a stress-free vacation together. Our properties also feature private porches or decks that are kitted out with comfy furniture for you and your pet to enjoy together. Take your morning coffee out on the deck and do a little squirrel watching, or cool off after dinner once the sun goes down to watch the lake’s sunset. Most of our cabins also have grassy areas for your dog to get out and stretch their legs.
There’s also a variety of pet-friendly dining options at Waskesiu Lake and in town, so you don’t have to leave your littlest friend behind when it’s time to chow down. Many local restaurants have outdoor patios where pets are welcome in summer months, and downtown businesses often have ‘pet stations’ outside their doors for a quick drink and treat. You can also pack a picnic and head to one of the scenic lake spots to enjoy a meal with your pet out in nature!
Tips for a Great Stay
To ensure you and your pet have the best experience possible in your Kapasiwin Bungalow rental, here are a few tips to make your stay un-fur-gettable:
- Leash Up: Keep your dog on a leash while exploring the trails and public areas. It’s a great way to ensure their safety and respect other visitors. If your dog is excitable about wildlife or a little too adventurous, consider bringing a harness or mesh muzzle as well.
- Pack Essentials: Bring your pet’s favorite toys, bedding, and enough food for the duration of your stay. Having familiar items will help them feel at home- but don’t stress if you forget something at home. There are site and town amenities that carry supplies too.
- Stay Sun (and Water) Safe: Always carry water for both you and your pet, especially during hikes and outdoor activities. Sunglasses, cooling pads, and sunscreen are also recommended. If you’re going on the water, make sure you both have flotation devices.
