About Lac La Ronge Provincial Park

Lac La Ronge Provincial Park
 

Lac La Ronge Provincial Park is located in northern Saskatchewan, Canada, spanning over 9,300 square kilometers around the lake of the same name. This vast park features a landscape dominated by boreal forest, numerous lakes, wetlands, and rocky outcrops, creating excellent habitat for wildlife such as moose, black bears, wolves, and a variety of bird species. The park's geography is shaped by the Canadian Shield’s rocky terrain, with mixed coniferous and deciduous forest ecosystems. Historically, the area has been significant for Indigenous peoples, including the Cree and Dene Nations, and remains an important cultural and traditional site. Today, the park supports a range of recreation activities, including freshwater fishing for northern pike and walleye, canoeing and kayaking on interconnected lakes and rivers, hiking on several maintained trails, and camping at developed and backcountry sites. Notable landmarks include the rugged cliffs and promontories overlooking Lac La Ronge itself, as well as access to nearby Wemmel River Falls and Bigstone Lake. Visitors are drawn to the park’s remote wilderness experience, opportunities for wildlife observation, and extensive water-based recreation on clear glacially formed lakes. The park also serves as a gateway to exploring the wild northern boreal landscape of Saskatchewan, providing an authentic outdoor adventure combined with cultural heritage access points.
