Akamina Parkway Closed

Post by joybird »

I was planning to do Carthew-Alderson as a thru-hike this year, but just learned that the Akamina Parkway has been closed due to flood damage. :( The park official I spoke to said they don't know when it will be re-opened and that it may stay closed all season.

Anyway, I thought this info might be helpful to any Chatters planning a trip up into Waterton Park...

If someone hears that the situation has changed, please let us know!

Joybird, we were considering some time in Waterton next month also. I wasn't aware of the rain damage to the park. Seems Waterton received roughly 8" of rain on June 19th. It was surprising to see the rather extensive damage to the Akamina Parkway on the ParcsCanada website.

Doesn't look good for getting to Cameron Lake this summer. Thanks for giving us a 'headsup'.

Ran into a contractor today at the blockade to the Akamina parkway...he said the road will be closed the rest of the summer but they hope to have it open in time for winter for skiing.
