Waskesiu Upland

Waskesiu Upland is a hilly plateau in the central region of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.

Much of the plateau is carpeted in boreal forests and most of the Waskesiu Hills range is within Prince Albert National Park.

The landscape of Waskesiu Upland consists of rolling hills, knolls, moraines, kettles, muskeg, bogs, and glacier formed valleys.

Delaronde Lake lies adjacent to the western slopes of the hills and is part of the Cowan River watershed.

The Waskesiu, Crean, and MacLennan Rivers drain much of this lowland east into Montreal Lake.

The park has several campgrounds, multiple hiking trails of varying difficulty,[10] and access to several lakes for recreation.

Animals commonly found on the upland include bears, bison, elk, deer, foxes, wolves, and otters.

[14][15] There are over 200 species of birds in the hills, including the site of the second largest breeding colony of white pelicans in Canada at Lavallée Lake.
