Nisbet Provincial Forest

Nisbet Provincial Forest is a large forest complex in Saskatchewan comprising two separate sections with distinct characteristics. The northern portion sits above Prince Albert, while the southern area lies between Duck Lake and MacDowall.

The forest was named after James Nisbet, a Presbyterian clergyman who founded a mission in Prince Albert during the settlement era. This historical connection reflects early religious influences on the region's development.

The Louis Riel Trail, which passes through the southern section of the forest, marks a significant path in the regional development of Saskatchewan.

The area supports different activities across all seasons, from cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in winter to hiking during warmer months. Visitors should respect designated hunting zones and prepare for local conditions.

The forest brings together a mixed-wood composition with both deciduous and coniferous trees, creating varied habitats for a wide range of wildlife. The Louis Riel Trail runs through the southern section and connects the natural landscape with regional travel routes.
