Area closure update - August 1 2024

The west side trail access in Prince Albert National Park was closed on June 18, 2024 after the Sturgeon River bridge sustained significant damage due to flooding from record rainfall in June 2024. The closure is in effect until further notice. We recognize this situation impacts neighboring residents and businesses in the area.

Safety is a top priority for Parks Canada. Bridge safety engineers assessed the bridge on June 27, 2024 and determined the structural integrity of the bridge has degraded due to the impacts of high water, making it unsafe to pass. Currently there is no timeline associated with repair or replacement. We will provide an update when new information is available.
