Narrow Hills Provincial Park

A Boreal Forest Park Of Eskers, Kettle Lakes And Clear Small Lakes, With The Gem Lakes, A Glacial Esker Landscape, The Lower Fishing Lake And Camping. A Quiet Park For Paddlers, Anglers And Hikers, Reached By A Long Highway · Smeaton, Saskatchewan

Narrow Hills Provincial Park sits in the boreal forest of north-central Saskatchewan along Highway 106, the Hanson Lake Road, roughly 80 km north of Smeaton (confirm distance). The park is a landscape of eskers, long sandy ridges left by glacial meltwater, with small clear lakes lying between them in deep kettle basins. Jack pine, white spruce, trembling aspen and black spruce cover the ridges, and the lakes are cold, clean and often ringed with moss. The Gem Lakes and the Lower Fishing Lake are the best known water, with campgrounds, boat launches and short trails (confirm lake and campground names). It is a quiet park for paddlers, anglers and hikers rather than crowds, and it lies far from any city, so planning matters. Black bears, moose, wolves and many loons live here, and the lakes stay cold into June. A vehicle entry permit is needed (confirm the price), and fuel and groceries are limited along the highway.

The park is open all year, but most services run from about the Victoria Day weekend in May to the Labour Day weekend in September. Campground offices, boat launches and any store keep seasonal hours, and early spring and late autumn visitors should expect closed gates or limited facilities, so confirm dates before you travel. Highway 106 is paved and ploughed in winter, but the side roads and ski or snowmobile routes depend on snow, so call the park office first.
