Saskatchewan Canada has one of the world's great wilderness canoe areas. Half of the province is covered by forest and one-eighth is water. The Precambrian shield in northern Saskatchewan provides the setting for an adventurer's paradise.

The information presented on these pages will help you appreciate this land and enable you to come in person to enjoy it. Just remember that for thousands of years people have used these portage trails, these campsites and these waterways, and we hope that future generations may also be able to enjoy them.
