A Natural Wonderland Awaits

Prince Albert National Park, located in the heart of Saskatchewan, about 200km away from Saskatoon, is a gem waiting to be explored. The park’s diverse landscape, which encompasses almost 4000 square kilometres of dense forests and serene lakes, offers something for everyone. Some of the attractions you can look forward to include:

  • Hiking and Biking: The park has over 150 km of trails for you to explore on foot or bike. Trails like the Kingsmere River Trail and Grey Owl Trail provide breathtaking views and a chance to immerse yourself in nature, or try the Boundary Bog trail to visit the tamarack bog.
  • Water Adventures: The park’s many lakes, including the iconic Waskesiu Lake, are perfect for boating, canoeing, and fishing. Rent a kayak and paddle through the tranquil waters, or cast a line and try your luck at catching northern pike, walleye, or lake trout.
  • Wildlife Viewing: Keep your eyes peeled for the park’s abundant wildlife. From elk and deer to black bears and various bird species, there’s always something exciting to see. Early mornings or late evenings are the best times to try your hand at observing wildlife.

  • Picnic Spots: Numerous picnic spots surround the lake, where you can enjoy a meal amidst nature. Pack a basket and find your perfect place for a leisurely lunch or dinner.
