Lake O’Hara Day-Use Shuttle - Yoho National Park
Lake O’Hara is a fragile alpine environment. To preserve this unique environment and backcountry experience, Parks Canada’s Reservation Service allows for a total of 3,000 day-use visitors during the summer season.
Due to the changes to the Parks Canada Reservation Service in 2023, reservations for the Lake O’Hara day-use shuttle will not be done in the same way as it has been the last few years and there will not be a random draw this year.
The virtual queue system Parks Canada uses for other busy launch days will be used instead. This system acts as a randomizer for everyone logged into the reservation system prior to 8 a.m. mountain standard time on April 12, 2023. This randomizer will help ensure equitable access to the reservation service for everyone. Parks Canada is working very hard to ensure that the random draw for Lake O’Hara will return for 2024.
