Parks Canada Wants Your Input For Both Jasper & Banff National Parks

Parks Canada is looking for your input to help manage visitation at both the Lake Louise Area in Banff National Park as well as Jasper National Park as it has been on the rise…

• Lake Louise in Banff National Park rose 31% over the last 10 years

• Jasper National Park rose 20% from 2013-2023

Planning for visitor use management helps protect the mountain ecosystems special while providing high quality experiences for visitors and residents alike.

Lake Louise Area in Banff National Park (closes July 28, 2024)

Approximately 70% of Lake Louise visitors arrive between May and October, so planning will focus on access and use during this time. The visitor use management planning process may be extended to other locations and times of year in the future.

Jasper National Park (closes September 13, 2024)

80% of Jasper's visitors arrive during the summer, so planning will focus on summer access and use only (May-September). The Visitor Use Management Plan will focus on visitor access and use of the following busy day-use locations:

• Lake Annette and Lake Edith

• Old Fort Point

• Maligne Canyon

• Pyramid and Patricia Lakes

• Mount Edith Cavell

• Valley of the Five Lakes

You can complete the survey online or provide feedback via e-mail as long as you complete it before the deadlines. Both surveys should only take about 15 minutes to complete. Banner image from Parks Canada.
