Show Notes
Parks Canada implements new restrictions on popular lakes in Banff National Park to combat aquatic invasive species, following the confirmation of whirling disease in Lake Louise. Canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, and fishing with waders are banned on lakes like Moraine Lake and Bow Lake, while motorized boats and rental watercraft remain allowed on Lake Minnewanka. Paddlers express frustration over the sudden rollout, advocating for more education, cleaning stations, and enforcement. The restrictions aim to protect sensitive fish populations and migration paths, with similar rules in nearby parks showing success.
