Clearwater River Provincial Park, Provincial park in northern Saskatchewan, Canada

Clearwater River Provincial Park is a vast wilderness area covered in boreal forest that spreads across both sides of the river. The landscape features mixed terrain with rapids and dense woodlands typical of northern Saskatchewan.

The area contains the Methye Portage, recognized as a National Historic Site in 1933, which served as a vital trade route. This portage was used for centuries as a link between different water systems in the northern wilderness.

The Methye Portage inside the park was designated a National Historic Site in 1933, and the Clearwater River became a Canadian Heritage River in 1986. A stone cairn stands near the south end of the portage, marking the route paddlers and boaters still follow from Lac La Loche.

Access is from La Loche: by boat across Lac La Loche to the north end of the lake, where a stone cairn stands near the south end of the Methye Portage. By road, Highway 955 runs about 65 km north of La Loche to a bridge over the Clearwater River near Warner Rapids; it is paved for roughly 5 km to the Clearwater River Dene Nation turn-off, then gravel. There are 17 wilderness campsites on the northeast side of the bridge, but no facilities anywhere in the park.

The river features Class II to Class IV rapids that attract paddlers with technical skills. These challenging sections demand experience and careful planning to navigate safely through the water.
