Prince Albert National Park

We visited late May. Beautiful, well-maintained campground. We especially liked the Red Deer bicycle trail. It is paved through town and wide and clear, mostly grass around the perimeter of the park. We picked up the Red trail in town by the beach and followed it through town, by and around the golf course, and around behind the residential sections, then picked up the Yellow trail where it meets the Red trail and followed it around to the Red Deer campground entrance. I'm only describing all that to say the downhill ride from the woods area before getting to the Yellow trail is an absolute thrill! We had not realized we had climbed that far uphill, the uphill rises being pretty small and relatively painless. Definitely recommend this trail in this direction (counterclockwise).

Visiting this park is a very rich experience. There are activities for all interests and physical abilities, from scenic drives to canoeing and the like. The picnic facilities are nicely maintained. Some of the beach areas are small and can be really crowded. Wauskesiu itself smacks of a typical tourist town, but it's very clean and a nice walk once you have had enough of the bush. It's not possible to experience everything in just a day trip, so either have a really fixed plan or better yet plan to stay a while and take your time to enjoy it. I will definitely be back.

Being from New Brunswick and living in Saskatoon, it feels like this is the closest reasonable place to spend some time in a forest. There are lots of places to hike, camp, or go out on the water. I have done front and back country camping in the area and always enjoy the peace and relaxation I am afforded. We really enjoy packing a lunch to cook in one of the many shelters in Waskesiu. On our visits up here we have seen lots of different wildlife: moose, deer, chipmunks, and various fish and birds. Bug spray is highly recommended!

What the heck Saskatchewan?! This place is so cool!! I have been lucky enough to trek up here a few times this year. Cross country skiing in the area is fabulous, but the best part is the canoeing/kayaking in summer. Endless adventures on the lakes in the park. Excellent and well maintained back country camping. The wildlife I've encountered are otters, bears, and elk. Wear a bug suit in the summer 😬.

Great facilities with access to nature at reasonable costs. We camped at the Beaver Glen Campground at Waskesiu Lake for 4 nights in their oTentiks. 👍 We visited the narrows Campground and Paignton Beach. We hiked the Boundary Bog trail. So many great things to see and do, we couldn't do then all in our short stay! …
