Snowshoeing
Elk Island National Park
Like the explorers of the past, snowshoeing is a great way to discover the winter wonders of Elk Island National Park. Snowshoers are welcome to explore any trail in the park.
Bring snowshoes from home or rent snowshoes at the Wahkotowin Visitor Information Centre daily from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm.
Share the trail
Elk Island National Parks trails are multi use and shared by hikers, snowshoers and skiers alike.
Thin ice may exist anywhere on water bodies, at any time, in the winter season. Assess ice thickness and never go onto ice alone. Water vapour above the ice, or creaking and cracking noises, indicate weak ice. The Canadian Red Cross recommends an ice thickness of at least 15 cm for walking and skating safely; the thicker the ice, the better.
