Attractions
On the west portion of Highway 55 from the Alberta border, the village of Pierceland is located at Highway 21. To the north of Pierceland is Meadow Lake Provincial Park. This provincial park stretches about 115 kilometers (71 mi) from the Alberta border at Cold Lake to just north of the city of Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan at Waterhen Lake.
Morin Lake Regional Park is 15 kilometers (9.3 mi) south of the highway near Victoire.[3] Nipawin Bridge located on Highway 55 is Saskatchewan's longest bridge.[4]
Wildcat Hill Provincial Park is located just south of the eastern end of the highway; however, the park itself is only accessible by ATV or snowmobile.
