CURRENT CLOSURES: Construction of the Bow Valley Fireguard started within the Canmore Nordic Centre Provincial Park on August 18th. This work involves mechanical tree removal and forest thinning with log hauling through the park. To ensure the safety of visitors around work areas and haul roads, many of the upper trails will be closed during this time.

The Odyssey Trail will remain open but has two road crossings where trail users will have to use caution, and cyclists will have to dismount.

Closed: Banff Trail to Junction 4 for all non snow users (Frozen Thunder Skiers Only)

Closed August 18 – November 7: EKG East, Eye Dropper, Hey McLeod, Iliad, Laundry Chutes, Lower Laundry Chutes, Mad Handler, Rundle Connector, Sherwood Forest, Stadium Flow Trail, Swamp.

Closed August 18 – Spring 2026: Backdoor, Nector Noodle, Killer Bees, The Albertan, Ziggy’s

For all emergencies on trail please dial 9-1-1 & report that you're in Kananaskis Country at the Canmore Nordic Centre Provincial Park.

We recommend carrying bear spray year-round.

Please Do Not Litter (cigarette butts, poop bags and banana peels or apple cores are littering) and help us to keep this site free of garbage. Improper disposal of garbage and waste has the potential to draw wildlife and can force area closures.

Practice leave no trace and pack out what you bring in. If a bear-proof garbage bin is FULL, please take your garbage home or use another bin.
