City of Prince Albert - 'Gateway to the North'  |
View from City Street in Prince Albert. Looking west at the North Saskatchewan River. The Saskatchewan River is a major river in Canada, approximately 550 km (340 mi) long, flowing eastward across Saskatchewan and Manitoba to drain into Lake Winnipeg. Through its tributaries the North Saskatchewan and South Saskatchewan, is formed in central Saskatchewan, approximately 40 km (25 mi) east of Prince Albert, by the confluence of its two major branches, the North Saskatchewan and the South Saskatchewan, at the Saskatchewan River Forks. Both rivers originate from glaciers in the Alberta Rockies.
