Saskatchewan is a centrally located province named after the river of the same name that flows through its center. It is bordered by Alberta to the west, Manitoba to the east, the Northwest Territories to the north, and the U.S. states of Montana and North Dakota to the south. The province is primarily divided between two natural regions: the Canadian taiga to the north and the prairies to the south. The north is therefore predominantly forested, with the exception of the Lake Athabasca Sand Dunes, the northernmost active sand dune formation in the world.
Saskatchewan offers a diverse landscape of prairies, boreal forests, and unique geological formations. Grasslands National Park protects one of the last remaining pristine grasslands in North America and is home to diverse wildlife, including bison and prairie dogs. In the north lie the Athabasca Sand Dunes, the northernmost active sand dunes in the world, which stretch along the southern shore of Lake Athabasca.
