Prince Albert National Park is fantastic it has so many different campsites you can camp close by waskasoo or you can camp out in the outer line regions or if you're adventurous you can hike anywheres from 2 to 25 K Into the Wilderness and camp at remote destinations. My wife and myself just did a 13 km hike in to fish Lake. It was a pretty tough hike we carried all our gear and all our food for two nights and three days anytime you go 13 km with 30 to 40 lb pack it's going to be challenging but it's the right type of Challenge and it's definitely a good time it's peaceful quiet there's very few people that come up that far and it's a beautiful Lake tons of animals deer and porcupine and I think that there are definitely some foxes there's definitely signs of bear but we didn't see any and an unbelievable level of birds in the lake loons and Canadian geese woodpeckers sparrows Ravens I strongly suggest getting into the backcountry doesn't matter how old you are.

We visited late May. Beautiful, well-maintained campground. We especially liked the Red Deer bicycle trail. It is paved through town and wide and clear, mostly grass around the perimeter of the park. We picked up the Red trail in town by the beach and followed it through town, by and around the golf course, and around behind the residential sections, then picked up the Yellow trail where it meets the Red trail and followed it around to the Red Deer campground entrance. I'm only describing all that to say the downhill ride from the woods area before getting to the Yellow trail is an absolute thrill! We had not realized we had climbed that far uphill, the uphill rises being pretty small and relatively painless. Definitely recommend this trail in this direction (counterclockwise).

We had an amazing time camping at Waskesiu this year. Getting out of the car at our campsite (Beaver Glen) we were greeted by an elk 5 meters away. The bugs weren't too bad early June either and very few people were around early in the week. We did the Grey Owls cabin trip, canoeing the majority of the way. It wasn't easy for two intermediate canoers but despite the wind and waves we made it safe and sound. Along the trip we saw Elk, Deer, Black Bears, Rabbits, Blue Herons, Bald Eagles, golden eyes, whiskey jacks and fish jumping around us . It was really picturesque and the other visitors we ran into were great. I remembered as a kid Waskesiu being a place of rules and bug bites but going back was really great.

The boreal forest extends northerly into the Canadian Shield area from the agricultural zones of southern Canada. Prince Albert National Park lies south of the Shield in landscapes that were shaped by Pleistocene glaciers that deposited glacial till, sand and other materials that were later colonized by trees and shrubs. The ecosystems of Prince Albert National Park are lush and productive. During the warm, humid summers there is abundant insect life and numerous fungi, sustaining a remarkable diversity of boreal birds and other wildlife. There are many lakes and rivers creating wonderful water systems for a variety of waterfowl.

Visiting this park is a very rich experience. There are activities for all interests and physical abilities, from scenic drives to canoeing and the like. The picnic facilities are nicely maintained. Some of the beach areas are small and can be really crowded. Wauskesiu itself smacks of a typical tourist town, but it's very clean and a nice walk once you have had enough of the bush. It's not possible to experience everything in just a day trip, so either have a really fixed plan or better yet plan to stay a while and take your time to enjoy it. I will definitely be back.

We went July 2022: A large park with a nice swimming area and a lovely, quaint downtown area with plenty of stores, restaurants and sleeping accommodations. If you want to camp, great. If you want to glamp great. If yo want a cabin or fancy hotel - like the Sheraton it’s there. The fine dining restaurant, Pietro makes amazing food as well. The only problem with the park is the mosquitos. When you hike the trails into the woods you will be attacked unrelentingly by blood sucking mosquitos. Deep Woods Off does not work! If anyone knows what chemical works please post it.
