    Tips

    October 25, 2024

    Elk Lakes Trailhead is a great spot to start hikes into the surrounding landscape like Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, Elk Lakes Provincial Park and Elbow-Sheep Wildland Provincial Park. The beautiful Kananaskis Lakes are just around the corner. A campground with a small grocery store (and ice cream!) is about 1.3 miles north along Range Road B aka Kananaskis Lakes Trail.

    This is also the spot where Section B and Section C of the Great Divide Trail connect. If you use the resupply service offered on the official GDT website, you will find the locker at the car park to the right of the outhouse.
