Explore Saskatchewan’s Northern Region

Northern Saskatchewan greets visitors with stunning boreal forests, unspoiled lakes and the northernmost sand dunes in the world. The recreational activities here seem endless: from world-class fishing in Prince Albert National Park to camping in Lac La Ronge Provincial Park to canoeing down the Churchill River. And, of course, the spectacle of the Northern Lights skipping across the night sky shouldn't be missed.

Northern Saskatchewan is also home to the oldest building in the province, the Holy Trinity Anglican Church in the mid-1800s. History buffs can set off on a self-guided "Heritage Walking Tour" through the Village of Waskesin, visit an authentic fur trading post in La Ronge or explore a replica of an early 1900s Northwest Mounted Police station. Prince Albert, which is shared by the Northern and Central regions, is the province's oldest city and is home to numerous museums.
