Heading North, you can experience a wide range of activities in a beautiful, natural setting. There are great opportunities for canoeing, hiking, skiing, fishing, hunting, and snowmobiling. Some of the attractions include Lac La Ronge Provincial Park, Nistowiak Falls, and the Nipikamew Sand Cliffs.
More information on attractions can be found on Northern Saskatchewan Tourism's website.

One of the major centres in the region is the combined communities of the
