Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada will see a couple of key closures that will run from April to November. The Cameron Lake day use area will be closed for construction and to replace existing facilities from April to November. The Akamina Parkway will also be closed in the same time period because of the Cameron Lake construction. The road closure includes pedestrians and cyclists, though the park may have a shuttle so people can access some key trailheads.
Having said that, some trailheads may be closed because of construction. The Red Rock Parkway will also see intermittent closures through June 17. Starting May 6, the road will be open for weekend use only. On June 17, the road is expected to reopen seven days a week.
Visitors can also expect to see work on staff housing, the Blakiston Falls viewing platform until June and the Waterton townsite will see sewer and water upgrades along Evergreen Avenue.
Waterton is the sister park to Glacier National Park.
