Important Update

The National Capital Region is set to temporarily close a section of the beautifully scenic Lac-des-Fées Trail as part of a critical ecological restoration project aimed at combating invasive species. This initiative will specifically focus on the removal of buckthorn, a stubborn plant that threatens the local ecosystem.

Schedule of Closure

December 2 to 20, 2024

Location

The closure will affect the Lac-des-Fées Trail, stretching from the Lac-des-Fées parking lot to the Lac-des-Fées Parkway. This is a crucial area for maintaining the health of the park’s unique environment.

Important Information for Pedestrians and Cyclists

While vehicular traffic will not be impacted, those who enjoy walking or cycling in the area will need to adjust their routes. Please use the multi-use pathway located on the east side of the Lac-des-Fées Parkway during this time. We urge everyone to respect the signage put in place and plan your trips accordingly to avoid any inconveniences.
