PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND NATIONAL PARK POST-FIONA OPERATIONAL UPDATES

Work to address damage caused by post-tropical storm Fiona is ongoing in many parts of PEI National Park.  Please note the following operational updates:

• The Brackley Beach dune crossing stairs will reopen in early June.
• Construction is ongoing to the accessibility ramps at Cavendish Main Beach and Brackley Beach. The ramps will reopen once work is completed (anticipated July 2023).
• Some look-offs (Flat Rock, Orby Head) and parking lots along the Gulf Shore Parkway West will be closed permanently due to coastal erosion.
• Access to Dalvay Beach will reopen summer 2023 upon completion of construction of the buried revetment along the Gulf Shore Parkway. A single access point for visitors to Dalvay Beach will be located directly across from the parking area on the Gulf Shore Parkway.
• The MacNeill Loop of the Homestead Trail in Cavendish remains closed at this time pending the completion of rehabilitation work.
• Robinsons Island Road remains closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic while construction is underway to remove the asphalt from the causeway and prepare an unpaved multi-use trail on the roadbed. The Robinsons Island Trail System and new multi-use trail are scheduled to open in 2023.
• A full dune closure remains in effect for PEI National Park. Visitors must not walk over dunes for any reason.
