Canadian Provinces — Saskatchewan
Located in South-Central Canada, Saskatchewan is one of the Prairie Provinces - the others being Alberta and Manitoba. Saskatchewan's northeast corner is part of a four-corners region. The province is east of Alberta, west of Manitoba, south of the Northwest Territories, southwest of Nunavut, and north of the U.S. states of Montana and North Dakota. The capital and second largest city, located in Southern Saskatchewan, is Regina. The largest city is Saskatoon. Hence being a Prairie Province, Saskatchewan is an important center for various forms of agricultural activity. Like much of Canada, Northern Saskatchewan boasts many lakes, large and small. The two largest lakes within Saskatchewan's borders are Lake Athabasca and Reindeer Lake. Other lakes include Cree Lake, Old Wives Lake (in Southern Saskatchewan, about 60 miles southwest of Regina), and Wollaston Lake. National parks include Grasslands N.P. and Prince Albert N.P. in Central Saskatchewan.
