Reviews of Prince Albert National Park (Tourist Attraction)

Russell Schick

Beautiful National Park. We saw black bears, foxes, elk, and beaver there in May. Narrows campgrounds is by far the best.

James Olfert

Perfect place for a weekend getaway or a week camping. You can camp in town and have all the crowds and amenities, backcountry camp to get away from it all, or anything in between. Great park run programs for kids.

Kristy McCall Matheson

We love coming to PANP! The scenery for one is amazing! There is lots to see and do, from hikes, to wildlife, to water sports, to beaches, and on and on. Our favorite summer holiday.

Gorgeous scenery...plenty to do. What's not to love? We always enjoy our time at Waskesui and even managed to see a bear and several elk!!!

Dennis Regan

Scenic park with lots of wildlife. Free hot showers and flush toilets. Large RV sites with water and electric hookups.

Amy Danczak

We visited just prior to the camping season. It felt like we had the whole park to ourselves. We back country camped. The wildlife was the best I've ever seen. Fox, Elk, loons, deer, ducks, black bears with cubs and a brown bear.

Absolutely amazing place to go in the summer. We don’t live in the area but we live just near it, but we go there every summer and love it. There is lots to do and you can never get bored. All of the workers are very nice there and I guarantee a great loveable stay if you go here for the summer. It will be all worth it. ❤️

Such a great place to go camping and enjoy the beautiful Saskatchewan landscape. The park is always kept very clean and the park staff are always pleasant. My boyfriend and I enjoyed a stay at the Beaver Glen campsite. Would recommend to anyone looking to get out of the city for the weekend to get some fresh air!

F Lang

Interesting and beautiful spot to visit. Did a trail ride with my kids. There is a herd of free ranging bison in the park. We were lucky enough to get close to some of them. We got a good look at the bison and some impressive country. Overall a pleasant place to visit.

Tom Wolf

Beautiful park in the boreal plains, 2.5 h north of Saskatoon. Our favourite entry is the south gate via Hwy 263, called the scenic drive. Usually not busy there. Park is popular with road cyclists, MTB is allowed on many trails but not that common. Layout of town to Waskesiu Lake is very similar to Wasagaming and Clear Lake in Riding Mountain NP.

David Fletcher

Great facilities with access to nature at reasonable costs. We camped at the Beaver Glen Campground at Waskesiu Lake for 4 nights in their oTentiks. ???? We visited the narrows Campground and Paignton Beach. We hiked the Boundary Bog trail. So many great things to see and do, we couldn't do then all in our short stay!

Joanna McKay

Always 5 stars. One of Canada's eldest National Parks ... when wildlife saunters down the main drive while you are having an amazing lunch, breathing in crispy clean refreshing air...well the tension just rolls off and relaxation tip toes in :) If you've never been, go on a quieter weekday and take your time.

Mike Whitehead

The park as always is well maintained. Several stores to shop in. Long hiking trails and plenty of wildlife. The staff were helpful and courteous. The only lacking is the bathrooms by the main beach in Waskesui are still under construction. But I anticipate they will be finished for the summer season 2021.

Levi Thompson

Awesome hiking trails, great camping (lots of overflow, too) just make sure you bring enough bug spray!

Gerard McCall

No other place like it - in Saskatchewan. Lots of animals here depending on the time of year you visit. Small in terms of a National Parks however. In light of all the land in Saskatchewan they could have made the park 3 - 4 times the size me thinks.

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.

Mike Dupuis

Did Grey Owl trail, awesome views, saw bears, moose, elk, deer, foxes. Very senic

Russell B

Beautifully kept park with full amenities or no amenities depending on where you decide to stay. I stayed the first night with full service and the washrooms and camp sites were extremely well kept. The second night at a group site, not only was the site well kept but it had a beautiful view of the lake. I did the trail system to the fire tower and it was well groomed and maintained. Highly recommend people go on a weekend and check it out!

Dylan White

Hamptons of Saskatchewan, very nice but busy place. Nice shopping and restaurants.

Md Rezaul Karim Robin

Great scenic drive! Sky and cloud plays an important role to make this destination magnificent! Loved every bit of it!

Roberto's YouTube videos

Beautiful place to visit for the whole family. Just 3 hours from Saskatoon and one from Prince Albert.

Edel Lopez

Beautiful and amazing! Lot pf things to do and one of the wonders of Saskatchewan! Can’t wait to return!

Preyas Patel

Great place to visit Has many things to do in summer as well as winter Both seasons have their own beauty Must visit place.

Nafis Azad

One of the best spots in Saskatchewan to check out if you have not already. With a beautiful view of the lake, amongst the various accommodations the town has to offer, it’s a spot you don’t want to miss! I come here usually during the summers but many of my friends come here during the cold times in winter and still admit to having a wonderful time! The prices are very reasonable and the sights are endless! If you have the chance, stick around for sundown to view the beautiful view of the sunset glistening over the waters. Never had an issue with this place and the park staff are always available when you need them!

Abdul S

Its Nice place to have a family picnic. There's Camp Ground. Beach...Boating. You must visit if you are living in Sasketchewan.

Brenda Doyle

Loved camping here. We had a lovely private site with regular elk visits. We also enjoyed the lake town by the campground.

Kurtis Thick

Love visiting the park. Nice beach, and trails all around the area. Get out and enjoy them. Recommend the River and the Bog trails.

Fran Armstrong

Great National Park! Lots of fun in the town but great open spaces for back country activities

Dawn Ledbetter

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).

Dana-lee “The Canadian Traveler”

Lots of great trails! Excellent backcountry. Took some pictures of bears while I was there.

The water was warm, the weather perfect. Everyone looked after everyone's elses things, and my kid had a great time. its $7.90 per adult after taxes for a 24 hour permit, and free for children.. which means I can definately take him back tonight if I wanted.

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.

Miles Burkholder

Fantastic views and trails. We have only done a few and will definitely be coming back.

Sophie

Amazing landscape! So beautiful, even in spring time with frozen lakes .

Daniel Folkins

Being from New Brunswick and living in Saskatoon, it feels like this is the closest reasonable place to spend some time in a forest. There are lots of places to hike, camp, or go out on the water. I have done front and back country camping in the area and always enjoy the peace and relaxation I am afforded. We really enjoy packing a lunch to cook in one of the many shelters in Waskesiu. On our visits up here we have seen lots of different wildlife: moose, deer, chipmunks, and various fish and birds. Bug spray is highly recommended!

Huy Nguyen

Beautiful and well kept nature. The resort town is clean yet can get pretty crowded.

Kayla Gerein

Great park with lots of surrounding lakes that are open to visit. The town has a few cute shops and restaurants available, along with a bike rental place. The beach area is well groomed with lots of playground equipment. Be sure to pick up a park map for all the park information you'd need and for hiking and canoe trails within the park. If you're looking for another adventure, be sure to stop by the near by Great Blue Heron Provincial Park!

Ian Roach

Love this park! It never disappoints. Opportunities for everything from fine dining to backcountry excursions. Park staff are always wonderful to deal with.

Rory Hebb

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.

Patrick Bonello

A fantastic opportunity to enjoy stunning Canadian wildlife and the beautiful outdoors. Lots of walks and places to stay and picnic. The tourist centre is a good start to plan your visit.

David Barentsen

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.

Clint Janzen
