The following update is provided by Koreen Miko of Parks Canada:

Clear Lake Campground area update

Good Morning, with the cooler temperatures among us, our Water / Wastewater staff will be shutting off the water to the Old Campground area on Monday, October 28. By the middle of next week, they will be shutting off the individual valves in front of each cabin. The water to the shower building will still be available till November 1.

In the next couple of weeks, we intend to do some work pouring sidewalks / skirting around the shower building for improved accessibility. We do not have a specific date for this yet, however if we can’t do it this fall, and the work is pushed to next Spring, we will try to provide a couple of days notice to the Lessees.

Thank you,

The following update from Kevin Bachewich – RMNP Townsite Manager

Updates from this Past Weekend’s Storm & Gate Hours

This is the latest road report/update from this past weekend’s storm.

Moon Lake campground: Closed until further notice
WCG Otentiks: All clear.
Lake Audy road from station through to 61A: Closed.
61A from RM to Hwy 10: Opened on Tuesday. This road has been plowed and is in good shape.
Frith Beach access road : Opened up to Camp Kips.
Highway 19 : Closed. Operators opened #19 to Katherine. Arrowhead, Brûlé and Katherine are plowed out.
Rolling River road: Closed.
Clear Lake Campground : Streets open, not back lanes at this time unless required.
Townsite streets: Opened for access
North Shore Road and loops: Open

NOTE: We are not opening up any parking lots at this time, unless required. With the predicted warm weather, we are hoping mother nature will remove the snow for us. Reasoning is that we are out of high visitation and the more snow we pile up, the less chance it is going to melt. We will assess again next week and remove snow if required.

Also as a reminder, the north gate is closed for the season.
The south gate hours for the winter months are as follows:
– closed Mondays to Thursdays
– open Fridays from 2:00 pm – 8:00 pm
– open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 am – 6:00 pm

The following update is provided by Kevin Bachewich.

Subject: Cabin Area Plowing

Hi. Just wanted to provide a quick update that the cabin area has been opened up for access after the recent snowfall, however there may be limited access to the back lane area for most of the cabin area. We wanted to advise so there are no surprises. With the recent snowfall we have been able to open up and plow most of the core streets, however many of the back lanes in the cabin area at this time will not be plowed for the weekend so parking and front street access is limited. The snow load has been reduced significantly and everything else is as usual.

Have a great weekend.
Kevin
