Hiking & Trails Update

Updated June 16, 2026:  The following trails and hiking areas are closed until further notice: Bear Creek Provincial Park (hiking trails – the campground is open). Some trails have reopened in Rose Valley Regional Park. Please respect the signage and barricades. As sometimes signage is damaged or removed by members of the public inadvertently, it is advised that people should not be hiking or exploring in any areas where a wildfire took place as there are too many unknowns and your safety may be at risk. For this reason, it is recommended to avoid Carrot Mountain and McDougall Rim. These trails are not maintained and are outside of the local government’s jurisdiction.
