Saskatchewan may be home to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police academy, but for outdoors people, it's probably more famous as North America's waterfowl factory. One of four ducks and geese taken by Canadian and U.S. Hunters every year is bred in the province. It's also a haven for geese and trophy-class whitetail deer. If it's trophy fish you're looking for, Saskatchewan teases anglers with more that 100,000 lakes. Beneath their surfaces lurk huge northern pike, walleye, and lake trout just waiting to strike. Saskatchewan is a place that remains as wild and natural as it was centuries ago.

| More than 12 percent of the surface area of Saskatchewan is covered by lakes and rivers. They are heavily concentrated in the northern half of the province, in the Canadian Shield. Of the thousands of lakes found here, the largest is Lake Athabasca, which is shared with Alberta. Second in size is Reindeer Lake, shared with Manitoba. Other large lakes include Wollaston, Cree, and Frobisher lakes and Lac La Ronge. Immediately south of the shield are a number of other sizable bodies of water, including Peter Pond, and Doré, Montreal, Primrose, and Cumberland lakes. |
