Athabasca Sand Dunes

• The Athabasca Sand Dunes in northwestern Saskatchewan provide a challenging camping experience. The dunes, which lie on the shores of Lake Athabasca, constantly shift due to wind. Campers must be completely self-sufficient since there are no facilities, roads, services or residential communities in the area. The dunes can only be reached by float plane. Camping is restricted to certain areas of the park due to the fragile ecosystem. Fishing and water recreation are available.
