Alberta Environment and Protected Areas has issued a High Streamflow Advisory for nearby Waterton Lakes National Park.

Increased precipitation has raised water levels in the park. Conditions are being monitored and further updates will be shared if necessary.

No action is required from residents or visitors at this time, but here are some safety reminders if recreating in the park:

Trail conditions may change—please monitor important bulletins;

Avoid flooded areas;

Stay well back from riverbanks, which may be unstable;

Do not enter or paddle in fast-moving water—even shallow water can be dangerous.

Waterton Lakes National Park is located in the southwestern corner of Alberta, adjacent to the Akamina – Kishinena Provincial Park in the southeastern corner of East Kootenay/B.C.

Also, there is a closure at the Many Glacier Hotel area in Glacier National Park in Montana due to flooding.
