Alberta Parks is open from May 1 for hiking and individual campsite reservations will open from May 14 for camping from June 1.
To combat the spread of COVID-19 while Albertans are enjoying hikes in the parks, Alberta Parks has published a set of guidelines for those visiting the Parks.
Guidelines:
- Only visit parks or go hiking where you can maintain at least two metres of physical distance at all times.
- Practice physical distancing
- Visit a park only with members of your household, or your cohort family.
- Plan your trip without stops for gas or food in small communities.
- Don’t visit if you’re sick or were recently exposed to someone with COVID-19.
- Bring a cloth mask and wear it when you’re near other people.
- Visit early in the day, so you can head somewhere else if a parking lot is full.
- If parking lots are full, consider visiting at a different time.
- Do not park on the shoulder of roads.
- Please come prepared with your own water, snacks and hand sanitizer.
- Dispose of your trash in appropriate receptacles or pack it out to keep both wildlife and our maintenance staff safe.
