Effective Date: Monday, September 2nd, 2024
The following locations are now closed for the 2024 season:
Aspen Beach Provincial Park's operating season ends after September long weekend. This year, the closure has been scheduled to allow for construction and heavy equipment access to the day use areas including the concession and bathrooms in advance of the winter season. We recognize that with the above average seasonal weather, the public would appreciate still having access to the day use areas. Unfortunately, this is not possible to allow for construction activities to start in advance of the winter season. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Fall camping opportunities can be found at Jarvis Bay Provincial Park , Red Lodge Provincial Park, Pigeon Lake Provincial Park and Crimson Lake Provincial Park.
We look forward to welcoming you back to Aspen Beach Provincial Park for the 2025 summer season!
Due to elevated levels of fecal bacteria currently present in the water at the Ebeling Beach Day Use Area of Gull Lake, located within the Central Zone of Alberta Health Services (AHS), AHS is advising the public not to swim or wade at this beach area, effective immediately.
Elevated levels of fecal bacteria were detected via testing of the water park at this location. At current levels, gastrointestinal illness may result from ingestion of the water at Ebeling Beach. As well, there is the possibility of skin, ear and eye infections with water contact.
As always, visitors and residents are reminded to never drink or cook with untreated water directly from any lake or reservoir, at any time. Water-borne organisms, including fecal bacteria, can cause vomiting and diarrhea.
AHS Environmental Public Health officers will continue to monitor the water at the Ebeling Beach Day Use Area.
This advisory will remain in effect until further notice.
