The Whitewater Greenhorn Page Welcome to the Many people view Saskatchewan as that dry stretch of road between Winnipeg and Calgary, endless miles of wheatfields guarded by silent grain elevators. Prince Albert National Park lies on the edge of a transition zone where aspen and fescue parklands give way to the boreal forest.
Many people see the park as over-developed and highly commercialized .
While it is true that Waskesiu townsite and the main beach area can be very crowded in peak season, the park has much more to offer in its less-travelled areas. It is also an excellent destination during the off season when the pace slows and you can enjoy the solitude. There are numerous hiking and ski trails, ranging from easy to advanced. Lac La Ronge spans another transition zone, where sand and topsoil become increasingly scarce and are replaced by the ancient rock of the Canadian Shield. The provincial park includes all of Lac La Ronge as well as approximately 100 smaller lakes.
