Jun 23, 2021 | 8:56 AM

We know that more than ever, people are looking to spend time outdoors close to home. Prince Albert National Park provides opportunities to do so.

Parks Canada continues to follow the advice and guidance of public health experts in offering visitor access and services this year. We are working hard to ensure that a safe, clean, healthy and enjoyable experience is available to visitors.

Visiting Prince Albert National Park mid-week instead of on weekends (Friday to Sunday) and statutory holidays in the summer season ensures that visitors have space to enjoy all that the park has to offer. There are many weekday opportunities available in Prince Albert National Park this summer!

Visit the park and enjoy our top eight experiences:

· Explore the wilderness of the park with a hike or bike on a trail. Check out trails on Street View before your visit to get a feel for surrounding flora and trail difficulty, and check the trail conditions before you head out.

· Bring a paddleboard, canoe or kayak to paddle on the lake and embrace the shimmering of water, the sights and sounds of the lake and surroundings, and the buoyant feeling of being on the water.

· Spend the morning or afternoon on the water reeling it in! Bring fishing equipment and jig for walleye or cast a line to catch a pike. Fishing is fun for both the new and experienced visitor and park fishing licenses are available at the visitor centre, entry gates, campground kiosks and marinas.

· Bring lawn chairs, picnic items and beach toys to a one of the many beaches in the park and enjoy warm beach sand, cool refreshing water, and the shelter of shoreline trees!

· As you walk the paths of Waskesiu, look down, around and up! Plants aren’t just a background of green, but are individual species that have a long history of being used by the peoples of this region. Keep an eye out for Botanical Ramble, an interpretive program of sidewalk chalk words and art that names plants around town in English, French, and Cree. As you admire, think about how the boreal forest is a place to clear your mind, mend your body, and take care of your spirit.

· Get off the beaten track and stay at one of our three outlying unreservable campgrounds on a first-come, first-served basis! For camping information on Narrows, Namekus and Sandy Lakes campgrounds contact the visitor centre at 1-306-663-4522 or email pc.princealbertinfo.pc@canada.ca .

· Take a *moment* to look back as you encounter round *Heritage Moments* signs on buildings in Waskesiu! Scan the code on the signs with your phone for neat historical tidbits about your location. Do just one as you wander town or hunt up a few using the brochure, available at the Waskesiu Heritage Museum, open every day in July and August from 10 am to 6 pm!

· Visit the Waskesiu recreation grounds for family fun! Season Family Passes, for two adults and everyone 18 and under in the same household, allow the use of ALL the recreation facilities and equipment with the exception of mini-golf. NEW in 2021 is a completed sports court, outdoor ping pong, foosball, shuffleboard and a giant chessboard to entertain all ages! Please contact wrawaskesiu@gmail.com or call 306-663-5410 for more information.

We are delighted to announce the launching of the Prince Albert National Park Facebook page on June 23, 2021!
