Great Blue Heron Provincial Park is a recreational park in the central region of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan in the boreal forest ecozone of Canada.[1] It is adjacent to the eastern boundary of Prince Albert National Park, about 50 kilometres (31 mi) north of the city of Prince Albert. The provincial park was established in 2013 from two pre-existing provincial recreation sites – Emma Lake (Murray Point)[2] and Anglin Lake Recreation Sites[3] – and the addition of a large tract of Crown land.[4]
Great Blue Heron Provincial Park encompasses the entirety of Oscar Lake,[5] most of Anglin Lake, the northern portion of Emma Lake, and the very northern tip of Christopher Lake. The eastern slopes of Waskesiu Hills are in the western side of the park. Access to the park is from Highway 953.[6]
Within the park's boundaries are three small communities — Okema Beach, Murray Point, and Anglin Lake. Murray Point is home to Emma Lake Artist's Workshops.
