After driving 2+ hours north of Saskatoon through endless prairies, this paradise appears. We were here late October so the park was “closed”. The entrance booths were boarded up, some of the roads were closed off. But we drove straight to Waskesiu Lake and found a ghost town. There were a few people staying in some of the lodges and the only open restaurant we found was at Hawood Inn, it was very good. So we had the place almost to ourselves and it was amazing! The area with it’s immense lake is astonishingly beautiful. We mostly drove around looking for wildlife. We saw a coyote, fox, some deer, many different birds and so many elk that we lost count. We did a few short trails and they were well maintained and very relaxing. They even have a golf course. I’m sure it gets busy during the summer and covered with blankets of snow in the winter, both must be amazing times to visit.

It's a beautiful part of Canada that not many people visit! Great golf, hiking, swimming, boating, shopping and awesome restaulrants!

This park breaks the stereotype of Saskatchewan just being full of farms, fields, grass and wide, open spaces. Saskatchewan also hosts lush forests like this one.
While this is similar to the other prairie national parks like Elk Island and Riding Mountain and is essentially the typical scenery in Ontario and Quebec's provincial parks, this is a scenic park for locals that hosts typical activities such as hiking and boating.
We went to the two lookout towers (Spruce River Highlands and Height of the Land) and the views there show rolling hills. Definitely won't be able to see a dog running to the horizon for 3 days straight.
Waskesiu River Trail is absolutely gorgeous. Some people were using the river along the trail for tubing and that was fun seeing them, quite jealous actually! There were a family of ducks also sharing the river with them.
The main section of the park has two entrances, the one off Highway 2 and the Highway 263 entrance. I would recommend the Highway 263 entrance. There's more wildlife along that road! We saw a black bear and her two cubs playing along the road. Too bad the speed limit is 80 km/h and any careless driver would've flattened the two cubs. So while Highway 263 is more scenic, I would recommend to drive slower than 80 km/h in case of freak wildlife crossing the road.

We checked out the campsites all over the park and opted for the Narrows which is about half hour North west of the town site. We loved our site 67 overlooking the water but would have preferred 65 it was the nicest for water view. Excellent clean flush bathrooms and the best firewood ever. We loved that we could self register and it was quiet but i am sure all the campsites in the park are busy during peak season. There is kayak, boat and canoe rental but we had our own and launched from campsite which has a steep bank but doable otherwise there is a 10.00 fee at the store. We kept to shore as wind and waves unpredictable. The little store only has fishing, rentals and licensing supplies. The park is beautiful. we already had a park pass for the year. The mosquitos were terrible and had just come out coming in late May may have been better. Would come here again !

We are surprised that not many people visit the surprisingly beautiful Waskesiu Lake located in the Prince Albert National Park. There are multiple lakes, trails, and a marina on the north side of the lake and connected by the Kingsmere Road. The pavement stopped mid-way where you can go to the Hanging Heart Lake Marina. The rest is a gravel road, offering the access to the Grey Owl Cabin Trail (20 km one-way), the Kingsmere Lake/Camp Trail (not recommended), and the interesting and eventful Narrows Peninsula Trail (3-km loop, highly recommended). The Narrows Road, a gravel road, connected a series of small and quiet beaches along the south side of the lake. A camp ground is located at the end of the road but you can walk the Mud Creek Trail to see both the lake and the creek (with multiple beaver house/dams, recommended). The Waskesiu town/park offers multiple hotels/restaurants and a general store. The owner of the general store probably has the best view of the lake except people living on the hill. Restaurant Pietro offers the best food (decently priced) in town while other restaurants offer cheaper prices. We rented a canoe and paddled to the Waskesiu River Bridge, and the experience and the scenery is amazing. We did encounter elks near the lake but an adult bear on the way out on Route 263.

This lake is our go to place. We have been hanging out at this lake since we were both kids and came with our families.
We just spent the last 3 weeks camping. We were shocked at the number of bears we saw or encountered. Every single day we saw bears whether it be hiking, biking or in the car. One in the camp ground and many just outside of the park. We also noticed lots of momma bears with twins.
Four of us went out cycling on a mountain bike path to Fish Lake. This is a 13k in and out. The last couple km’s of course there was momma and twins on the trail. Momma got up on her haunches. We retreated back a half km. Waited for a half hour then proceeded back on the trail. This time cubs are swinging in the trees and momma no where to be seen. We got off our bikes and took out our bear spray in case needed. Walked very quietly passed the cubs being on the alert for momma. Glad to report we did not her and got back to our vehicle safely.
Not trying to scare anyone but just a heads up that due to covid, 2 springs and a fall of no bear hunting has resulted in a larger population of bears. Keep an eye on your kids as they can be anywhere. If you are going on any hikes or biking outside of the town area carry bear spray.

Come in winter if you want the park to yourselves. We cross-country skied and hiked and hardly ever saw another person. Park supplies free cross-country skis and snowshoes which was great! We used them every day. Saw river otters at the narrows the drive down in the snow was magical. Felt like our own personal national park was a great time

We visited Prince Albert National Park mid September. Most of the shops and restaurants had closed, or were just about to close, for the season. A coffee shop was open, as was the restaurant at the hotel, but we only needed a coffee. The townsite is quite picturesque and it looks like it would be a great place to spend some time on their little beach in the summer. Because there are no big hills or mountains in this park, they have a couple of great viewing towers in the park so that visitors can still get some nice vistas. We're glad we made the effort to check out this beautiful park, and hope to visit again when more things are open. They have a number of good hiking trails. We don't know how things work here in the winter...

This is certainly away from the hustle and bustle of a big city. Very Peaceful getaway.
Our suite was spacious with a Jacuzzi and a fireplace.
The ambience of the property was relaxing and staff attentive. Pool was closed for reno's and toboggin run was also closed. So if you want the place to yourself, come stay this time of year.

How are the roads to the park? Other roads in the prairies have been dismal.

Highway #2 north from Prince Albert is perfectly fine. The secondary highway into the park is fine too. Roads and streets in and around the townsite and campground area are good. As you venture further out into the more remote areas of the park you will find gravel roads but for the most part they are very well maintained.

You can either check out Prince Albert National Park website or call the park for more campground information. I haven't camped there for at least 15 years but the campground I stayed in was Beaver Glen and it was really nice.

I do believe that STC was doing a daily run into Waskesiu, but obviously that will be ending May 31 with the closure of STC. Other than that, I don't believe there is any public transportation running from Saskatoon to the park.

PANP is home to many hiking/walking trails of varying difficulty levels. There is a nature center in the town site. There are several camping areas from RV to Beaver Glen Campground to more remote. There are activities at the town hall for special occasions like Canada Day, etc. You can rent canoes & kayaks at the marina. You can fish. There are several public beaches, the main beach located in the townsite has a large, updated children's playground complete with washroom/shower facilities. There are several camp kitchens for picnics & BBQ's throughout the park. Elk Ridge Resort, on the edge of the park, has a zipline/tree top adventure course. Endless activites really!
Do they have camp programs for kids to spend a week or two. Ages 10 to 12?
Not sure if they have camp programs of 7-14 days.
Why not call to find out: General Inquiries and Visitor Centre
