La Ronge: The Gem of the North
Nestled in the heart of the boreal forest, on the western shore of Lac La Ronge and on the edge of the Canadian Shield, sits one of Saskatchewan’s most underrated communities.
“Prince Albert may have coined the phrase, but the town of La Ronge truly is the ‘Gateway to the North,’” said town councillor Matt Klassen.
The community boasts world class cross country skiing, biking and hiking trails. The snowmobiling, boating, canoeing and fishing opportunities are endless and second to none thanks to hundreds of lakes surrounding the area.
“One industry that has remained virtually untapped is tourism,” said Klassen. “Yes, we have a few hunting and fishing outfitters, but that is just the tip of the iceberg of what this town can offer for tourism. The opportunities are truly endless.”
