About
Porcupine Hills is Saskatchewan’s newest provincial park, officially designated in 2018. Located southeast of the Town of Hudson Bay, Porcupine Hills Provincial Park boasts great camping, hunting and fishing. Snowmobiling and other winter activities are popular throughout the winter months. Porcupine Hills is a place like none other to relax, enjoy the scenery, or simply walk or hike.
The park is made up of five existing provincial recreation sites including McBride Lake, Saginas Lake, Pepaw Lake, Parr Hill Lake and Woody River. The park’s focus is on protecting the region’s natural landscapes and ensuring the cultural values of the land are conserved.
In this newly designated park, hunting and fishing continue to be managed as they have been in previous years, campgrounds are small and simple, and First Nations and Métis people continue to celebrate their cultures and carry out traditional use activities.
Isbister Lake has 3 economy nightly sites.
Camping is offered in winter with reduced services; contact the park to book.
Fees
Economy sites $18 CAD per night, plus a $12 reservation fee and a park entry permit ($11 per vehicle per day)
