Things to do at Great Blue Heron Provincial Park
- Fishing on Anglin Lake EasyRV parking available
Anglin Lake is one of the park's main draws and offers fishing for walleye, northern pike, and yellow perch. Anglers can fish from shore, from the dock, or launch a boat from the park's boat launch. A provincial fishing licence is required.
- Paddling and loon watching on Anglin Lake EasyRV parking available
Anglin Lake is renowned for one of the highest nesting densities of common loons in North America and is ideal for canoeing and kayaking. Sheltered bays are good for spotting loons, herons, and other waterfowl.
- Swimming and beach day-use EasyRV parking available
The park has sandy beach areas with day-use facilities on the lakeshore. Picnic tables, shelters, and washrooms make it a family-friendly spot for a warm summer afternoon.

How to get to Great Blue Heron Provincial Park
The park sits in central Saskatchewan, roughly a 2.5 to 3 hour drive north of Saskatoon and about 45 minutes to 1 hour north of Prince Albert via Highway 2 and Highway 263. From Prince Albert, follow Highway 2 north toward Christopher Lake, then turn west onto Highway 263 to reach the Anglin Lake area. Access roads are paved prairie and boreal routes without major mountain passes or tunnels, though RV drivers should watch for soft shoulders, gravel side roads to some campground loops, and wildlife on the highway at dawn and dusk. Saskatoon's John G. Diefenbaker International Airport is the most convenient option for fly-and-rent travellers.
