The park will be open on weekends.

Park closures and traffic delays will take place on the following days:

  • Tuesday, September 6 to Friday, September 9
  • Monday, September 12 to Friday, September 23
  • Monday, September 19 to Friday, September 1.

This schedule may change so be sure to check the BC Parks website before heading out, just in case.
