- This Saskatchewan wilderness is where the infamous conservationist, Grey Owl, made his home. The park marks the ecological transition from southern to northern Canada. The grassland, aspen parkland and boreal forest create a diverse mosaic. The park is almost 30% water, which makes it ideal for canoeing.

The landscape varies from sand dunes, beaches & red sandstone cliffs to salt marshes and fresh water ponds, and it has the finest example of the delicate 'sand dune ecosystem' in Atlantic Canada.
