PEI National Park recovery
Prince Edward Island National Park
When you visit PEI National Park in 2023, we ask for your continued patience and support while our team repairs, protects and conserves Parks Canada administered places on PEI post-Fiona. The park remains an incredibly beautiful and resilient place full of breathtaking views and – especially this year – signs of new growth and change. We are so proud to share it with you and we ask that you do all you can to help it thrive into the future for generations to come. Respect any areas of closure. Pay attention to signs showing safe passage. Be patient with Parks Canada team members as they provide guidance and share information.
We can’t wait to see you again. Come and watch us as we GROW!

What can visitors do?
In 2023 and beyond, remember this: your footsteps matter.
Give our dunes space to grow. Stay back from all dune areas. Watch for "baby" dunes and new growth of spiky marram grass. Stay away. Be mindful of signage guiding you. It’s there for a reason. Walk only on designated pathways. Don't make exceptions.We encourage you to take the Park Promise and make a commitment to protecting the environment so it can be enjoyed by future generations.
