Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Canada, particularly in Prince Albert National Park. The park's wetlands and forests provide ideal breeding grounds for these pesky insects. Mosquitoes are most active during the warmer months, typically from late spring to early fall. Their presence can make outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and picnicking quite unpleasant for visitors.
