Best Place to Take Out of Town Guests : Waskesiu, Prince Albert National Park
Only a one-hour drive from Prince Albert, Waskesiu and Prince Albert National Park is a popular getaway location; it is a great place to take and entertain out of town guests.
In the summer guests to the park can enjoy hiking, biking, and paddling, in the winter they enjoy cross-country skiing trails and snowshoeing trails. There is also a variety of amazing wildlife viewing opportunities that can be seen in the town site and throughout the park. Some common sightings include elk, deer and fox.
“We have over 200 song birds in the park and bald eagles and owls,” said Monica Osterhout, promotion officer for Prince Albert National Park.
“In the more remote areas or in the winters sometimes you can see wolves and moose and on our west side if people are a little bit more adventurous we have one of the only free roaming plains bison herds living in park range,” she added.
