The first whiteman to lay eyes on the Saskatchewan River, or "Kisiskatchewan" which in Cree means "the river that flows swiftly", was Henry Kelsey of the Hudson's Bay Company in 1691. In 1741, after a hiatus of 50 years, La Verendrye and his sons explored the Saskatchewan River. He selected the site for Fort Pascoyac (present day The Pas, Manitoba) and one of his sons, Louis Joseph, reached as far upstream as the forks of the Saskatchewan River.
ABOUT THE AREA
Our camp is in MGHA 8, off the Saskatchewan River, in the Kelsey Lake area. The area has only been hunted for the last 9 years. This combined with the vast remoteness of the area makes for a higher percentage of large bears, 30% of which are colored. See
