Visit Prince Albert National Park - There's More to Discover!

Prince Albert National Park is open year round and is renowned for its beautiful lakes, spectacular sunsets and plentiful wildlife.

In the fall, the park is especially beautiful... the aspen turn to gold and the sound of elk bugling rings out through the crisp, misty cloak of dawn. A migrating flock of sandhill cranes clatters overhead, unwinding their spiral path northwards. A clear night invites star gazers to find their secluded spot along the lakeshore to witness the dance of the aurora reflected across the glassy surface.

With over 150 kilimetres of trails, you can choose from an easy hour-long stroll through a quiet sphagnum bog or take on a longer day hike. The challenging Spruce River Highlands trail rewards with vistas of Anglin Lake while the Spruce River wetland meanders far below. The Kingsmere River trail takes you to the open jack pine stand of Southend campground and picnic area on the shore of Kingsmere Lake, a popular backcountry destination.

Take a scenic drive and hopefully catch a glimpse of a wolf or a moose. The Narrows Road (that runs along the southern shores of Waskesiu Lake) and road to the Hanging Heart Lakes (that runs along the northern shore) may provide wildlife viewing opportunities, a variety of picnic spots where you can stretch your legs along the beach, and an chance to breathe in the moist, revitalizing air. While exploring the park, be sure to climb the stairs of the Height of Land lookout tower for a bird's eye view of some of the park's lakes, rivers and hills.

Paddle in the park and enjoy the beauty of the many lakes and streams.
