Athabasca Falls day-use area – partial trail closure
Athabasca Falls is the largest waterfall by volume in the Canadian Rockies and potentially the most iconic in Jasper National Park. To ensure public safety, visitor infrastructure at the falls - one of the most popular attractions in the park - requires repair.
Between June 10 and 16, 2024, a partial closure of the trail leading to Athabasca Falls will be in effect in order to replace the concrete stairs at the pedestrian bridge. This partial closure is required for public safety and will provide crews and equipment the space needed to pour concrete and allow it to set properly.
During the repairs, the Athabasca Falls day-use area will remain accessible, and visitors may view the falls from the trail between the parking area and the pedestrian bridge. The trail is expected to fully reopen on Monday, June 17, 2024.
The safety of visitors and Parks Canada team members is our highest priority. Please obey posted signage and the directions of personnel on site.
