Modeste Saskatchewan Natural Area is composed of five, non-adjoined, parcels of land. All but this one are South of the North Saskatchewan River.
Inaccessible. This one is unique in that it is inaccessible with out landowner permission or coming in from the river (the intervening land is undesignated Crownland). This was confirmed via this attempted inspection in which the private land was clearly posted just south of the bridge crossing the nearby Tomahawk Creek.
