Golfing
doesn't get better than this
Imagine
having two of Saskatchewan's top courses to choice from at will.
Everyday. That's what awaits you at the renown Lobstick
Golf Course and the new Elk
Ridge Resort located just outside the Park main gateway.
You will think you died and went to heaven. Some say the park
is totally dedicated to golf. What do you think? Bah!
So
many beaches and so much time
With seven beaches that grace the shores of Waskesiu and many
more located on Crean Kingsmere and other lakes in the park,
its hard to pick just one to spend a lazy afternoon. The park
enjoys some of the nicest beaches anywhere in Saskatchewan ,
and we're sure you will agree.
Camping
oasis
With over 500 campsites in the park, there's lots to choose
from! Enjoy all the amenities in Trailer Park and Beaver Glen,
located in Waskesiu. Visit the easily accessible and peaceful
campgrounds at Namekus Lake, Sandy Lake, Trappers Lake (all
located off highway #263), and the Narrows Campground (located
at the end of the Narrows Road). Venture into the backcountry
for more scenic and out-of-the-way camping adventures at Kingsmere
Lake and Crean Lake.
Water
sports
Now that's taking in a lot. Where does one begin, canoeing,
kayaking, windsurfing, boating, sailing tubing, water skiing,
and wake boarding. Why there even old guys bare foot skiing
on this body of water.

thing about coming to Waskesiu. Exploring the natural lay of the
land and getting some much need exercise is what's it all about.

A hangout for the local deer as they come
to watch. A beautiful pitch well manicured that can accommodate
eight concurrent games.

Where there is a road , you have a your
journey set before you. No doubt , the Marina run is a park must
for those who feel the urge.

is a full sized baseball diamond with the outfield
as big as Taylor Field.

Three
wheeling in Waskesiu
Love'm or hate'm is about the way it goes. They populate the
townsite from morning 'til dusk with loads of fun on the run.
Horseshoes
This is not an old folks game. Located in the park next to the
Community Hall. Bring your own horseshoes and play until your
heart is content.
The following are some of the winter activities that
you may choose to pursue during the winter at Prince Albert
National Park. Because weather and snow conditions vary from
year to year, as well as the range of winter services provided
in the park and the Waskesiu townsite, you are advised to check
with the Park Information Office at (306)663-4522 before your
visit.
Park use fees apply year-round and, in winter, can be
paid at the East Gate (using the automated pay machine), at the South Gate (using the self-registration station) or at the park Information Centre (open seven days a week, or by using the automated pay machine).
Cross
Country Skiing
When the snow flies , Waskesiu's trails are turned into some
of the best runs that can be found anywhere. And one can not
beat the scenery of magicistical Waskesiu covered in winter's
white coat.
Snowshoeing
Create your own trail across the snow cover! Whether you venture
out for a few hours, or choose to go for a backcountry camping
adventure, showshoeing provides a great way to exercise and
experience the boreal forest winter.
Hiking
A familiar summer hiking trail will wear a different face in
the winter. Since many of the popular trailheads are accessible
even during this season, you may wish to explore the winter
profile of a popular trail - like Boundary Bog - that you walked
in the summer.
Ice -Fishing
Winter angling is usually a game of patience. It affords an
opportunity to scan the horizons for circling ravens - often
the signpost of a wolf kill. Or perhaps you will catch sight
of a wandering river otter "sliding" across the lake
surface. A shadow on the distant shore may focus into a moose.
Camping
Winter camping is whole different "ball of snow".
The experience has unique challenges, that go along with special
rewards of spending a night - or nights - under a canopy of
snow-covered spruce and star-spangled skies. Several campsites
are designated for winter camping.
