Protecting some of the most breathtaking scenery in the Canadian Rockies, Mount Robson Provincial Park features stunning turquoise lakes, beautiful alpine valleys filled with colourful wildflowers, dense forest, and towering mountain peaks. Mount Robson, the namesake of the park, is the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, towering over the landscape at 3,953 metres (12,969 ft).
One of the most popular trails in the Rockies, the Berg Lake Trail draws eager explorers from all over North America every summer to hike in this beautiful area. Although the Berg Lake Trail is currently closed past the Kinney Lake Campground due to trail damage from flooding, there are plenty of other unforgettable adventure opportunities just waiting to be explored in Mount Robson Provincial Park. Whether you are wilderness camping along a backcountry hiking trail or paddling through scenic mountain valleys on a sparkling river, the Backroad Mapbooks Mount Robson Provincial Park Adventure Map is the perfect accessory to explore this wonderful region.
Kinney Lake Trail
Part of the renowned Berg Lake Trail, the trail to Kinney Lake begins at the park headquarters and traverses through old growth cedar along the Robson River, passing the small but scenic Knowlton Falls. After just over 5 km (3 mi) one-way, hikers are rewarded with the crystal-clear, turquoise waters of this beautiful alpine lake that sits below the towering Mount Robson. Spend the day relaxing and picnicking at a pebbly beach, go for a swim on a warm summer day, or spend the night at the Kinney Lake Campground (reservations can be made 4 months in advance for this popular backcountry campground). Recently upgraded as part of the Berg Lake Trail repairs after the significant flood event, the trail to Kinney Lake features replaced, fixed, and moved bridges, trail upgrades, and the addition of new campsites, a new toilet, and several new benches to the Kinney Lake Campground. This newly upgraded trail opened on June 27, 2023, while the whole trail to Berg Lake is slated to open in 2025.
The Kinney Lake Trail and Campground are featured on both the Mount Robson Provincial Park Adventure Map and the Berg Lake Adventure Map, which provides a more zoomed in version of the area. Featuring multi-use trail systems, trailheads, and campsites, these easy to read, large-scale 61 x 94 cm (24 x 37 in) Adventure Maps are the perfect size to carry in your pocket or backpack.
Frontcountry Camping
In addition to the rustic wilderness camping sites that are conveniently located along the Berg Lake Trail, Kinney Lake Trail, Moose River Trail, and at Mount Fitzwilliam, there are almost 200 vehicle and RV accessible frontcountry campsites available at three different campgrounds: Lucerne Campground, Robson Meadows Campground, and Robson River Campground. These spacious frontcountry campgrounds, which are all clearly defined on the Mount Robson Provincial Park Adventure Map, offer breathtaking views of mountains and forested valleys, while offering comfortable amenities and direct access to all the outdoor recreation opportunities Mount Robson Provincial Park has to offer.
Yellowhead Mountain Trail
Towering over the Yellowhead Pass, which marks the border between Alberta and British Columbia, Yellowhead Mountain offers a beautifully scenic contrast from the densely forested mountain valleys below. From the trailhead just east of the Lucerne Campground on the north side of Highway 16, this moderate trail climbs steeply towards Yellowhead Mountain. Stunning viewpoints, lush vegetation, and plenty of wildlife viewing opportunities are the main attractions on this 2 km (1.2 mi) trail. Strong hikers can hike for an additional 6.5 km (4 mi) to reach a beautiful sub-alpine meadow system.
The Yellowhead Mountain Trail and several other backcountry trails are clearly defined along with parking areas, trailheads, and wilderness campsites on the Mount Robson Provincial Park Adventure Map.
Paddling
