Nut Point Campground

Nestled on a peninsula in Lac La Ronge Provincial Park is the Nut Point Trail. A 30km round trip hike that immerses you in the beauty of the Canadian Shield in Saskatchewan. If you aren't from Saskatchewan or have never been north of Prince Albert - yes, the Canadian Shield rests in Saskatchewan as well. Ontario and Quebec aren't the only places to see 2.4 billion year old rock!

The Nut Point Trail is a decently strenuous hike but still great for beginners. While there is not much in total elevation there are sections where you are required to climb over rocks and navigate slippery roots and moss. There are a couple places where you have a good climb but are all reasonable in grade and difficulty. I have heard of people completing this hike in one day which I believe is doable with a day pack, but I would suggest if you have the gear to hike out to the end of the peninsula and spend the night.

If you know someone with a boat and you want to make the journey shorter, plan for someone to meet you at the end of the peninsula for your return. It is quite easy to get a boat to shore to pick up tired hikers.
