Clearwater River Provincial Park
 Clearwater River Provincial Park is a Canadian wilderness park in the boreal forest of northern Saskatchewan. The park begins at the south end of Lloyd Lake[1] on the Clearwater River[2] and includes territory on both sides of the river until it reaches the Alberta border.[3] The park includes the historic Methye Portage (Portage La Loche).[4] The Methye Portage was designated a National Historic Site in 1933[5] and the Clearwater River was designated a Canadian Heritage River in 1986 due to their historical importance in Canada.[6] The Clearwater River offers experienced canoeists Class 2 to Class 4 rapids.[7][8] Park accessThe park can be reached from La Loche by crossing to the northernmost end of Lac La Loche by boat. A stone cairn is located near the south end of the Portage. About 65 kilometres (40 mi) north of La Loche on Highway 955 a bridge crosses the Clearwater River near Warner Rapids. The road is paved from La Loche to the Clearwater River Dene Nation turn-off (about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi)) then continues as a gravel road. On the north-east side of the bridge are 17 wilderness camp sites. There are no facilities in the park. See alsoReferences
