Big River, Saskatchewan
Big River is a town located on the southern end of Cowan Lake in north central Saskatchewan, Canada. It is just north of Saskatchewan's extensive grain belt on Highway 55 (part of the inter-provincial Northern Woods and Water Route) and about sixteen kilometres west of Prince Albert National Park.
Except for some land cleared for farming and a few natural meadows, the town is surrounded by the northern boreal forest. Delaronde Lake is accessed west of the village.

“But I died yesterday,
“Daddy,” I died,
swallowing the Nazi-Jap-animal
and it won’t get out
it keeps knocking at my eyes,
my big orphan eyes....”
