Details:

Please be advised that the boardwalk section connecting the Twin Lakes Campground shoreline to the Twin Lakes Island within Crimson Lake Provincial Park has been removed due to safety concerns. Planning for a full replacement project is underway.

Due to the nature of the repairs, the island will remain inaccessible by foot for the remainder of the camping season. Visitors may still access the island via watercraft. Please note that with no foot access, emergency response times may be delayed, and visitors must pack out all waste.

Visitor safety is our top priority. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to restore safe public access.

Follow the direction of all signage and personnel in the area and stay out of active construction zones.
