Camping reservations will open for entire Berg Lake Trail in Mount Robson Park
The Berg Lake Trail in Mount Robson Park will open for camping reservations on April 2, 2025, with arrivals allowed from June 26, 2025. After being closed since June 2021 due to catastrophic flooding, the trail has undergone significant repairs costing approximately $5 million. Spanning 23 kilometers, the trail offers stunning views of waterfalls, turquoise lakes, and glaciers, making it a top destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Local government officials stress the importance of the reopening for the area's economy, with the trail contributing about 25% to Valemount's local tourism revenue. The restoration was carried out in three phases, with upgrades aimed at minimizing flood risks.
Hiking the Berg Lake Trail is expected to draw thousands of visitors, benefiting local businesses and communities. Minister of Environment and Parks Tamara Davidson expressed excitement about welcoming back families to this natural haven. The reopening not only enhances outdoor recreation opportunities but also strengthens the region’s position as a premier destination for nature lovers.
