Lac La Ronge Provincial Park

Lac La Ronge Provincial Park anchors northern Saskatchewan's canoe country. The main lake alone holds more than 1,300 islands; the Churchill River system to the north offers thousands of kilometres of connected paddling. Frontcountry campgrounds at Nut Point and Wadin Bay provide entry points; the interior is pure wilderness, most easily accessed by float-plane fishing outfitters.

• 1,300+ islands on Lac La Ronge alone
• Churchill River — Canada's premier long-canoe system
• World-class walleye and pike fishing
• Cree cultural sites at Stanley Mission (nearby historic church)
