Have you been dreaming of the perfect lakefront paradise surrounded by all the beauty the Canadian wilderness has to offer? Look no further than Kapasiwin Bungalows at Waskesiu Lake, tucked into the splendor of Prince Albert National Park! Our charming rental cabins provide the ideal retreat for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of urban life and embrace the serenity of the great outdoors instead.

Here’s why Waskesiu Lake, Prince Albert National Park, and Kapasiwin Bungalows are quickly going to become your go-to vacation destination for the ultimate getaway experience. Read on to learn more about our on-site amenities, local attractions, outdoor adventures, and more!

Nature’s Playground at Your Doorstep

Located in the heart of Prince Albert National Park and on the shores of Waskesiu Lake, Kapasiwin Bungalows is your perfect home base away from home, offering a diverse range of activities to suit every taste, whether you want to adventure, unwind, or somewhere in between.

If you’re looking for some exercise with excitement during your stay, plan to hit a couple of the trails and hikes around the area. With over 150 km of scenic trails that range from ‘leisurely and sedate’ to ‘I hope you brought moleskin,’ you’re sure to get your fix of breathtaking views and immersive natural experiences. Grey Owl Trail and Boundary Bog Trail are some of the most popular options for visitors, and many of the trails and hikes are family and pet-friendly as well.

The lake also offers entertainment for your stay with pretty much every water activity you can think of. Rent a canoe or kayak, try your hand at fishing, work on your tan, or just enjoy a refreshing swim- whatever your vacation vibe, you’ll find something to do on Waskesiu Lake.

You can also spend some time getting friendly with the locals- the wildlife, that is! The park is home to a beautiful and diverse ecosystem that hosts elk, deer, black bears, foxes, hares, and numerous bird populations. Bring your binoculars and camera to spot these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, and if you head out early in the morning or after sunset, you’ll probably see gatherings for a few different species as they all come out to feed and socialize.

Family Fun and Relaxation

Kapasiwin Bungalows is an ideal location for family vacations, offering activities that everyone can enjoy. Whether you’re young or old, a small family unit, or cheaper by the dozen, your family is welcome at Waskesiu Lake. We even offer pet-friendly cabins so the whole family can come!

One of the most popular attractions is Waskesiu Lake waterfront and marina, where you can find whatever activity floats your boat- literally, of course. We offer canoe and kayak rentals to explore the waters, and if you’d like to stay on shore, we’ve got you covered there too. There are opportunities to swim, build sandcastles, play some beach sports, or just soak up the sun while the kids burn off some of their energy running around. Either way, it makes for a great day.

While the water and trails are the main allure of the area, there are plenty of other activities to enjoy around the rental site, the provincial park, and the local community. Numerous picnic spots around the lake allow you to enjoy a laid-back family meal al fresco, or you can browse the shops for local art and gifts. There’s also a mini-golf pitch (or a full course for the grown-ups, if you can sneak away!) and an adventure playground so everyone can let off a little steam.

Cozy Cabins with All the Comforts of Home

After a day of exploring the sights and sites of Prince Albert Provincial Park, there’s nothing like returning to a cozy cabin that feels like a home away from home. At Kapasiwin Bungalows, our accommodations are designed to make you feel perfectly at ease from the minute you walk in.

Each of our cabins sleeps six and features a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds with soft linens, and a private bathroom- not a tarp or latrine in sight if you need to convince your friend who likes “glamping” to come along. The sights you will see? Try stunning views of the lake and forest. Our cabins all have private decks or patios attached, fully kitted out with comfy furniture, too, so you can enjoy your morning coffee or evening meal while you take in the scenery.

Speaking of meals, you’ll find barbeque facilities at each cabin so you can grill up a feast under the stars. On a really good day, you’ll be grilling up your catch of the day from a fishing charter!

Cultural and Historical Exploration

Prince Albert National Park and Waskesiu Lake aren’t just about natural beauty and active adventures; they’re also rich in cultural and historical significance. The Heritage Museum was proudly founded in 1928, and has been sharing the rich history of this area for almost 100 years.

If you visit the interpretive centers and historic sites throughout the park area, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about the indigenous peoples and early settlers who shaped the region into what it is today. Then, whenever you’re ready to experience said modern-day community, you can check out the local events calendar for music festivals, art exhibitions, fun runs, dances, and more that showcase traditions and culture in our area. There’s never a dull moment here!
