Accommodation

You will set up camp beside a remote lake in the Boreal forest.

Program

Pack your swimwear and a change of clothes as you saddle up to head through Prince Albert National Park into the Saskatchewan outback. Depart from the ranch at roughly 10 a.m. (times can be customized) and arrive at the backcountry camp around 3 p.m or 4 p.m. as it is approximately a five-hour ride. Bring whatever alcoholic beverages you like for around the campfire in the evenings. Multi-day trips will be based on how far you want to go.

Fall asleep to the howl of loons, coyotes, or even wolves under a bed of stars and perhaps a magnificent display of northern lights. Give yourself a day to relax by the lake or continue your adventure down the many trails in the area.

On the departure day, Sturgeon River Ranch recommends leaving the camp after a good hearty breakfast but all times are flexible and customary. This is your vacation and they want you to relax and enjoy the ride.
