CANADA ~ Prince Albert National Park - Saskatchewan ~

... Great postcard showing one more of Canada's 46 national parks👍... Prince Albert National Park is a jewel in the wild... a mix of wilderness and accessibility... specifically designed to serve as an ideal spot for a wide variety of outdoor activities... you can stay at one of 14 designated backcountry campgrounds in the heart of nature... the scenic rolling forested landscape, numerous large lakes, beaches, and rivers, provide opportunities for hiking, camping, and boating... maybe you can even spot the only free-range herd of wild bison (more than 200 head) in Canada that still occupies its ancestral territory... the park is open all year but the most visited period is from May to September...Thanks A lot Glenn!!¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Prince Albert National Park encompasses 3.874 km² in central Saskatchewan and was declared a national park 1927. The Park Headquarters are in Waskesiu.

This National Park represents the southern boreal forest region of Canada. When the Park was established, its land was occupied by the Cree, who had settled in the area in the mid-19thC. Most of the Cree were then obliged to move east to Montreal Lake.

Although named for the city, the park's main entrance is actually 80 km north of Prince Albert, the third-largest city in Saskatchewan.
