The lure of the north lies in its natural beauty, where rolling farm and ranchland meet vast forest and lakeland, stretching all the way to the Northwest Territories. Its grandeur is felt from the very southern fringe of the boreal forest through the vast and accessible wilderness of lakes, rivers, woodlands and Precambrian shield.
A rich history with a strong and enduring aboriginal heritage, reminders of the fur trade and the contributions of pioneers, as well as the oldest building in Saskatchewan can all be found in the North.
Prince Albert National Park ranks among Saskatchewan’s best-known destinations, combining the comfortable resort amenities of Waskesiu with remote backcountry wilderness.
History and culture are present in numerous museums and historic parks. This region saw some of the final battles of the North West Rebellion of 1885. Historic Stanley Mission was established in 1850 and is open to visitors. The Anglican mission is home to the oldest church building in Saskatchewan, which can be reached with just a short canoe or boat trip across the river from the community.
Communities, parks and resorts also offer golf, rodeos and a busy schedule of exciting festivals.
