Hikers and skiers planning to stay overnight in the backcountry are required to purchase a Wilderness Pass. These are available at the Jasper Information Centre year round and at the Icefield Centre May to October. Topographic maps, trail information and reservations are also available at these centres.

Anglers must obtain a National Parks fishing permit, available at information centres, campgrounds and sporting goods stores in the park and must obey the park’s fishing regulations. A free copy of the Fishing Regulations Summary is distributed upon purchase of fishing permits.

Boating in rowboats and canoes is allowed on most of the ponds and lakes in the park. Boats with electric motors without on-board generators are allowed on most road-accessible lakes. Use of gas-powered motors is prohibited. Enquire with park staff before launching your boat.

CAMPING is limited to designated campgrounds. Camping is available either through advance reservations (pccamping.ca or 1-877-737-3783) or on a first-come first-served basis. Camping fees vary with services provided. Consult the Mountain Guide for a current listing of fees and services. If a campground is full, park staff will direct you to other locations. Enjoy your stay!

Parkway 93A (7 km from Jasper)An alternate route between Jasper townsite and Athabasca Falls, following the old highway. Several scenic picnic areas with names like Otto’s Cache and Meeting of the Waters are found along the way. The Mt. Edith Cavell road begins at km 2.5. Wabasso Campground is located at km 4.5. Access the Moab Lake fire road at km 10.

Mount Edith Cavell(29 km from Jasper)Edith Cavell was a heroine of World War I. A switchback road (no vehicles >7m) climbs 14.5 km to a picnic area under the mountain’s spectacular north face. Excellent views of the Angel Glacier and a self-guiding trail. A busy place with limited parking, try to visit before 10 am or after 3 pm. Road is open June 25 to October 15 (snow dependent).

Athabasca Falls(30 km from Jasper)The Athabasca River pours into a narrow canyon cut in a very hard, quartz-rich rock. A thundering spectacle with a bridge and platforms at the better vantage points. Picnicking. Junction with parkway 93A.

ApexApexApexIcefield Centre (103 km from Jasper)The Columbia Icefield: visual high point of the Icefields Parkway. An access road takes you to an interpretive trail leading to the toe of the Athabasca Glacier. For your own safety, do not walk on the glacier without proper equipment and a knowledgeable guide. The Icefield Centre combines all services under one roof along with impressive views of numerous glaciers and surrounding peaks. Parks Canada offers trail and visitor information and impressive interpretive exhibits. Commercial services include “Ice Explorer” rides on the Athabasca Glacier, a hotel, a cafeteria and a gift shop. Open May to October.

Maligne Lake (48 km from Jasper)Maligne Lake is the largest lake in Jasper National Park (22 km long) and the deepest (97 m). Renowned for its scenery and its fishing, the area also offers exceptional hiking opportunities. A concession provides cruises on the lake, rowboat rentals, fish guiding and restaurant service. Day use area only; no overnight accommodation, gas or camping.

Medicine Lake (27 km from Jasper)A most peculiar lake. The Maligne River flows in but there is no surface outlet. Instead, the water flows underground for many kilometres, emerging in such places as Maligne Canyon and Lac Beauvert. Look for an interpretive plaque describing this phenomenon at the first lakeshore viewpoint on your way up the Maligne Valley.

Miette Hotsprings (61 km from Jasper)A winding mountain road leads you up the scenic Fiddle Valley to the hottest mineral springs in the Canadian Rockies! Along the way, stop at the Pocahontas Interpretive Trail just off Highway 16 on the Miette Road to learn about the history of coal mining in the area. Pocahontas Campground is 3 km up the road. Farther along, look for a viewpoint facing the impressive limestone slabs of Ashlar Ridge. Facilities at the springs include: Parks Canada soaking pools, a cool pool, a food concession, an interpretive trail, a picnic area, some outstanding day hikes and a privately-owned motel. Road and facilities are open mid-May to mid-October.

Maligne Canyon (11.5 km from Jasper)The Maligne River plunges 23 m into a steep-walled gorge of limestone bedrock. A self-guiding trail takes you over six different footbridges, providing spectacular views of the canyon en route. A privately owned teahouse is located adjacent to the parking area.

Sunwapta Falls (55 km from Jasper)A short access road next to the motel takes you to the parking area. The falls tumble into a limestone gorge rather like Maligne Canyon. Motel and restaurant are open May to October.

Jasper Park Information CentreNational Historic Site

As if born from nature, this building’s river-rock walls and log rafters reflect Jasper National Park’s forests and mountains. The local materials and building techniques used and its picturesque style make the Jasper Park Information Centre one of the finest architectural examples of rustic design tradition found in Canada’s national parks.Since its construction in 1913, this building has been a landmark and focal point of the town of Jasper, helping define the architectural character of this mountain community.
