Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" About Prince Albert National Park

When I was a child my parents took me and my siblings almost every year to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the USA. I loved going to the Smoky Mountains and have many wonderful memories of time spent there. As I learned about Prince Albert National Park it seems to me to also be a place where families can visit and create incredible memories every year!

  • Prince Albert National Park was established in 1927 in central Saskatchewan, and is famous for its ecological diversity—protecting a rare transition zone where southern grasslands meet lakes and wetlands of the northern forest.
  • The park’s southern meadows host the free-roaming Sturgeon River Plains Bison Herd.
  • Prince Albert National Park is a vital sanctuary for timber wolves, elk, black bears, moose, foxes, cougars, and large bird populations like white pelicans and bald eagles.
  • Trails range from short boardwalk strolls to extensive backcountry networks.
  • Connected waterways like Kingsmere, Crean, and Waskesiu Lakes offer exceptional, extended wilderness canoe and kayak trips.
