Snowfall over the past few weeks has blanketed the park with enough snow for all maintained cross-country ski trails to be track-set. Ski trail conditions will be updated regularly on the Waskesiu Chamber of Commerce website.

New this year is a packed trail connecting Great Blue Heron Provincial Park and Prince Albert National Park. This trail is marked on the attached visitor guide and connects the two parks via the Spruce River Highlands Trail. Users of both parks are now provided with more groomed trails to enjoy throughout the winter!

The attached visitor guide provides descriptions of all groomed ski trails in each park:
