Sturgeon River Wilderness Horse Excursions - Tie Lake Campout

Saddle up your horse and join one of our experienced and knowledgeable guides as you explore Prince Albert National Park’s West Side and our scenic ranch on the Sturgeon River. Watch for majestic free ranging wild Plains Bison, elk, moose, deer, wolves, bear and the countless species of birds and waterfowl that inhabit this riparian paradise.

Sturgeon River Ranch is located immediately west of the West Side Entrance to Prince Albert National Park, near Big River. The West Side of the Park is not accessible by motorized vehicles of any type and is preserved as one of Canada’s wildest, most untouched places. It is home to Canada’s only free ranging herd of wild Plains bison still within historic range.

In the summer months, the West Side is accessible only by horse, horse-drawn wagon, foot or bicycle. At Sturgeon River Ranch, guests have the option of experiencing this beautiful area on horse or horse-drawn wagon.
