Neely Lake Migratory Bird Sanctuary

Neely Lake Migratory Bird Sanctuary is a small federally protected bird sanctuary in the eastern part of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It centers on Neely Lake, a shallow freshwater lake set amid a landscape of mixed forest and peatlands within the Mid-Boreal Upland ecoregion. The sanctuary was established in 1952 and covers roughly five square kilometers of open water, marshy shorelines, wet meadows, and islands. It functions primarily as a fall migration stopover and feeding area for ducks, geese, and swans moving through the Prairie and Boreal flyways, and it also supports a small breeding population of Canada Geese and several duck species. As one of many Canadian Migratory Bird Sanctuaries administered by the Canadian Wildlife Service, Neely Lake represents the kind of quiet, lake-centered wetland habitat that has long been important to waterfowl conservation across the Prairies and the boreal fringe.

Distance methodology

Geographic measurements, not driving distances

How nearby park distances are calculated

Distances use park boundaries whenever the available geometry allows it. When one or both boundaries are missing, the mapped park locations provide a clearly labelled estimate. Every value represents straight-line geographic separation and does not use roads or routing.

Boundary distance

Calculated between the nearest points of both park boundaries.

Location-to-boundary estimate

Estimated from one mapped park location to the nearest boundary of the other park.

Mapped-location estimate
