• Effective Date: September 9, 2021
• Where: Aspen Beach Provincial Park
• Why: Aspen Beach Provincial Park is currently undergoing Park Modernization.  This is a multi-year project to repair and upgrade day use and campground facilities and infrastructure. Work to be completed during this closure includes:
  • Refurbishment of all Brewers campground loops (The exact nature of the work will vary from site to site, but the full scope of the work may include tree removal, enlarging campsite footprint, leveling existing sites, adding 30amp power  and adding gravel to all sites, roads and trails.)
  • Dredging and placement of new boat launch pads at Brewer’s and Lakeview campground
  • Construction of new dump station at Brewer’s campground
  • Refurbishment of boardwalk between Lakeview and Brewers campground
  • Re-roofing of washroom building at Ebeling Day Use area

Construction is slated to begin in September 2021 after the seasonal closure of the campground. Visitors are asked to stay out of closed areas for their own safety. Visitors should expect the presence of heavy equipment, construction vehicles, and increased noise levels during the construction period. Pending any construction delays, Brewers Campground and Ebeling day use area are anticipated to be fully open for the start of the 2022 season.  

For options after the September long weekend, visitors can find similar amenities and recreational experiences at Lakeview Campground, Pigeon Lake Provincial Park or Crimson Lake Provincial Park.

Please be advised that a Microbiological (Fecal) Water Quality Advisory has been issued for Ebeling Beach at Aspen Beach on Gull Lake, located in Lacombe County (Alberta Health Services Central Zone). Visitors who choose to swim or recreate in the lake should note the following:

• The public beach at Aspen Beach Provincial Park remains open.  
• If you have open sores or sensitive skin we suggest not to swim in the lake at this time.  
• If you are travelling with small children who may be inclined to swallow the lake water or put their heads under, keep them away from the water and watch them closely. Potential side effects could include:  
• Skin, eye and ear infections if you come in contact with the water  
• Vomiting and diarrhea if the water is consumed 

• Showers will remain closed for 2021 season.
• Showers are closed so available staff can focus on visitor safety and other core services for campers including garbage collection and cleaning of toilets and day-use sites.

• Capacity limits are now in place for the day-use area.
• Access to the day-use area will be actively controlled once the maximum capacity has been reached.
• More Albertans are enjoying our provincial parks and we may have to turn people away.
• Thank you for your compliance and we apologize for any inconvenience.
