Lake Louise Trail Water Damage

The Lake Louise walking path has been damaged by high water levels in the lake. This occurred because the work being done to repair the dam gate has made it challenging to drain enough water to keep the water level at its usual level.

At this time, drainage has been restored and the level is dropping. The path is still passable, but it is very muddy! Repairs to the path will be made as soon as the water level has dropped to its normal winter level.
