1 Athabasca Sand Dunes, SK
Considered Canada’s most epic natural landscape and home to the world’s northernmost active sand dunes, the Athabasca Sand Dunes are located in a remote area in La Ronge, SK. With dunes as high as 30 meters and a unique ecosystem, these Sand Dunes are accessible only by plane or boat. As a bonus, Churchill River Canoe Outfitters, a nearby business runs a week-long experience taking you to the dunes by boat where you will be able to camp, hike and explore.
