Parks - Natural and Historic

Prince Albert National Park - Saskatchewan's first national park was home to the naturalist and writer Grey Owl.

Fort Walsh - The historic fort in Cypress Hills where the RCMP worked to tame the West.

Lodgepole Legacy - Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park has been attracting visitors for thousands of years.

Meadow Lake - Twenty-five clear lakes and plenty of campgrounds and resorts make this one of the province's most popular provincial parks.

Majestic Madge - Duck Mountain Provincial Park, featuring beautiful Madge Lake, is a great spot for golfers and campers.

Greenwater Park - The kids will love the great beach and wonderful playgrounds in this provincial park. You will too.

Narrow Hills - This rugged, rolling, near-wilderness park offers a straight-up outdoor experience for backpackers, trout anglers and campers. Nice little beach, too.

Makwa Lake Park - A compact, off-the-beaten-path provincial park featuring five lakes, three beaches, three campgrounds and a pretty nine-hole golf course.

Batoche - This national historic site commemorates the Metis struggle for recognition and how it led in 1885 to the Battle of Batoche.

Trading in Fur - A visit to Fort Carlton Provincial Historic Park is a journey back to the days when the fur-trade ruled the North West.

Douglas Park - The park features a huge man-man lake, endless natural beaches and a very sandy secret.

La Ronge - Saskatchewan's largest park encompasses thousands of lakes, islands and streams in the rugged grandeur of the Canadian Shield.

Candles on the Lake - Beautiful sandy beaches, forests flush with wildlife and a legend about lights on the lake are some of Candle's inviting charms.

Moose Mountain Park - It was a popular vacation spot before Saskatchewan was a province. 'Kenosee' has a long tradition of summer fun.

Battlefords Park - Here's great camping in a recreational park noted for boating, fishing, skiing, swimming, beach volleyball, great sunsets and a beautiful golf course.

Fort Battleford - Some of the most dramatic events associated with the uprising of 1885 occurred in Battleford and the surrounding region. This national historic site puts them into context.

Grasslands National Park - A mix of uplands, badlands and big skies, Grasslands preserves the plants, birds, animals and cultural resources of the untamed prairie.

Prairie Gentry - Cannington Manor was a fascinating but unsuccessful effort to launch a Victorian community on the prairies of what's now Saskatchewan.

Wild Woods - Clarence-Steepbank Lakes Provincial Wilderness Park is the most accessible wilderness park in Saskatchewan. That hasn't spoiled the experience.

True Gems - Jade, Diamond, Opal, Sapphire and Pearl lakes glitter under the sun in a quiet corner of Narrow Hills Provincial Park. The tiny, deep and tightly-grouped Gem Lakes offer great hiking and, apparently, pretty decent trout fishing, too.

Baker's Coulee - The Red Coat Trail in southwest Saskatchewan cuts through arid countryside between Shaunavon and Eastend. But 10 minutes north of the road lies one of the prettiest regional parks in Saskatchewan, and memories of the extraordinary man who developed it.

Top 10 Beach - The beach at Good Spirit Lake Provincial Park is rated one of the top 10 in Canada. It's no wonder.

Magnetic North - Northern Saskatchewan seldom fails to delight and surprise. That why places like Lac la Ronge Provincial Park tug us back again and again.
