Where to go
Prince Albert National Park
With 1,500 lakes teeming with fish and edged by beaches, superb hiking, kayaking, boating, unparalleled wildlife (if you want to see wolves or a bison herd, this is the place), Prince Albert National Park is one of Canada's most stunning parks. Within the park is the resort town of Waskesiu Lake, which offers a range of restaurants, stores, and equipment rentals, as well as a wide range of frontcountry and backcountry campsites.
Lac La Ronge Provincial Park
Follow historic fur-trapper routes along the Churchill River in this massive park ,which has more than 100 lakes and 30 designated canoe routes. Naturally awesome, Lac La Ronge isn't just about the water—there are tons of hiking and skiing trails, plus private campsites in the lush forest. The park is also home to Saskatchewan’s oldest building, the Holy Trinity Anglican Church, and numerous service centres where you can grab what you need for your trip.
Narrow Hills Provincial Park
In Narrow Hills, hike through the boreal forest for incredible views out over crystal-clear lakes (some stocked with trout ready for fishing), and camp in the pristine wilderness. Carved by glaciers, the park has valleys and terrain to explore, and fantastic bird and wildlife viewing opportunities, as well as maintained beaches and facilities alongside frontcountry campsites.
When to go
If your idea of heaven is warm nights, swimming, and beaches, you'll want to wait until mid-June (with temperatures reaching the mid-70s in the height of summer), but from May to September, weather is pleasant. Winter camping is also popular, with plenty of winter activities on offer in the national park and beyond. Winter landscapes offer the best wildlife viewing opportunities, especially if you want to see wolves.
