A favorite destination for many vacationers, this park offers excellent fishing and water-based opportunities, some of the best beaches in Saskatchewan and the Boreal Trail, one of the premier hiking destinations in Canada. Seek out the area's wildlife and vegetation by venturing out on one of the park's well-groomed hiking trails, or one of the park's many picnic areas. Featuring twelve campgrounds with over 800 campsites, Meadow Lake offers a new experience one visit to the next.
