Paddling to Grey Owl's Cabin in Saskatchewan, Canada
Whether you paddle a canoe or hike on a wooded trail, a trip to Grey Owl’s cabin in Prince Albert National Park, Saskatchewan, reveals the natural beauty of the boreal forest and parkland ecosystems. While your pilgrimage to the former abode of one North America’s earliest conservationists won’t provide the mountain vistas featured in the 1999 Pierce Brosnan movie about Grey Owl (actually filmed in Quebec’s Laurentian Mountains), you will enjoy some wonderful wildlife encounters. Bald eagles abound here, as do a host of other bird species. If you’re lucky, you might see an otter cavorting about in the lake by your campsite, or catch a glimpse of a red fox. If you’re really lucky, you’ll be treated to a chorus of wolves howling across the lake in the evening or early morning. By paddle or by foot, it’s an experience that will cause you to remember. As Grey Owl said, “You belong to nature — not it to you.”
