Want to get away from the noise of city life? Northern Saskatchewan’s Boreal Forest Tour is the perfect destination. This vast wilderness offers a chance to disconnect, explore, and immerse yourself in the beauty of Canada’s northern landscape. With its rich diversity of wildlife, parks, lakes, rivers, and mountains, it’s an ideal escape for those seeking a deep connection with nature.

The Boreal Forest spans 1.9 billion hectares, making up 14 percent of Earth’s land. Imagine this as Northern Saskatchewan’s playground, a haven for those who crave vast, open spaces. With 85 species of mammals, this forest is a sanctuary for animals like Caribou, Black Bears, Timber Wolves, Moose, Lynx, Pine Marten, Otters, and many more. Wildlife encounters are part of the experience.

Boasting 300 bird species, the Boreal Forest sees three billion birds breed here each year. Expect to see Woodpeckers, Finches, Owls, Ravens, Bald Eagles, Osprey, and even Vultures.

The forest is rich with 20 tree species including Jack Pine, Black Spruce, White Spruce, Poplar, Birch, Aspen, and Alder. The forest floor is equally diverse, with a variety of mushrooms, mosses, lichens, and wild berries.

The Boreal Forest is also home to 32,000 insect species. These range from pollinators to decomposers, including the ladybug, which plays a crucial role in keeping the forest thriving.

With 130 fish species, from minnows to Pike, Trout, and Burbot, fishing enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy. Depending on the season, many fish migrate here, making it a prime spot for fishing.

As you traverse the Prairie Boreal landscape, there’s a good chance of encountering wildlife, witnessing stunning sunsets, and even catching a glimpse of the aurora borealis—the Northern Lights. For photographers, this mix of young and old forests, sparkling lakes, and ever-changing skies offers the perfect backdrop for capturing the beauty of the Boreal Forest.
