Effective June 1, 2021, a Kananaskis Conservation Pass is required to park your vehicle at provincial park and public land sites in Kananaskis and the Bow Valley.

The Bragg Creek Trails group asks users to check their website for detailed condition reports before choosing their route. Ensuring you are using the correct trails at the correct times, helps to preserve trail tread and aids in preserving the hard work of volunteers and staff.

Watch for slippery sections, overhanging or downed trees, and other natural hazards. Except small amounts of snow with higher elevations.

Be Bear Aware - bears are active at this time. Make sure you're making noise on the trail, paying close attention to your surroundings, and carry bear spray and know how to use it.

Notes:

The georeferenced maps at right can be downloaded and used on Apps such as Avenza to follow your position while on trail.
Vault Toilets are open, however visitors should plan to bring their own sanitary supplies, including paper and sanitizer.
There is now a free public cellular hotspot immediately south of the Trails Centre at the WBC Parking Lot, which enables visitors to make emergency and non-emergency calls.
The All Season Trails system was created in partnership with the Government of Alberta and the Greater Bragg Creek Trails Association (GBCTA) recently rebranded as Bragg Creek Trails. Please visit the Bragg Creek Trails website to learn more.
