Open year round for you to explore, the Prince Albert National Park protects 3,875-square-kilometres of boreal forest and watersheds.
In summer and shoulder seasons, the park has an extensive network of maintained hiking trails and sandy beaches. Hike through the rolling forest, along boardwalk trails and moss covered paths on the east side of the park. Watch for wildlife like elk, deer, birds, bears and foxes. On the west side, enjoy scenic vistas, trek through fescue grass meadows and perhaps see the free-roaming plains bison that inhabit the area.
In the winter season, there are lots of options for visitors to enjoy snow-covered scenery and terrain. There are approximately 55 km of groomed ski trails in the park with varying degrees of difficulty, designated for skate and/or classic cross-country skiing. The park also offers a range of designated snowshoe and hiking routes close to the Waskesiu Lake townsite or via easily accessible ploughed winter roads.
