With a million acres of wilderness, Prince Albert National Park in Saskatchewan, Canada, is a canoeist's dream: more than 30 percent of the park's surface is water, making a canoe the prime method of transport in this nearly roadless area. The varied terrain begins at the edge of the great Canadian prairies and moves into the dense boreal woodlands of the north. The hilly landscape is dotted with ponds and trenched by streams, and at the heart of the park is a series of large glacier-gouged lakes, linked by fast rivers.
