Points North Landing is a camp settlement in northeastern Saskatchewan, Canada. It is 355 kilometres north-east of La Ronge, on Highway 905 and has an airport and a water aerodrome, with almost daily flights provided by West Wind Aviation and Transwest Air. Gasoline, diesel, mechanics, a lumber yard, and accommodations are available. University of Waterloo student Kenton Carnegie was killed by timber wolves within this region on November 8, 2005.[1][2]

It is used as a staging area and logistics area for a variety of activities in northern Saskatchewan. All-weather roads connect the location to the south and temporary winter roads are constructed from Points North Landing to various communities in the North. Several uranium mines are located near this site including Cigar Lake and Key Lake.
