Parks Canada closes Moraine Lake Road to personal vehicles year-round

No park employees were injured but Cochrane said RCMP often responded to these situations, sometimes resulting in charges being laid.

The park has ramped up efforts in recent years to encourage visitors to use shuttles or buses to access the site and other attractions in the park, including Lake Louise, but now it is a requirement for Moraine Lake. Parks Canada will be adding a few more shuttles but there are other issues of concern at the site including general environmental impacts and infrastructure capacity for washrooms and trailheads.

The same kind of personal vehicle ban has yet to be put in place for Lake Louise but officials are looking for solutions to the traffic issues.Article content Visitors to Moraine Lake will be required to use buses and shuttles starting this year, with personal vehicles not allowed on Moraine Lake Road. A Parks Canada spokesperson told Postmedia an unmanageable number of people have been attempting to reach the Moraine Lake parking lot with private vehicles in recent years, occasionally leading to conflict. People going to other sites in Banff National Park are also highly encouraged to leave their private vehicles at home.
