1 BACKCOUNTRY GUIDE ATHABASCA ISLAND SEMI-PRIMITIVE 3.5 km paddle from 12 mile bridge OR 22.3 km paddle from Old Fort Point 4 km paddle to takeout at Highway and Jasper In summary Fires are permitted at Athabasca Island. There is no firewood at the campsite. If you would like to have a fire, please bring your own fire wood. This is a charming campsite on a small island along a beautiful Grade I stretch of the, accessible by paddling 3.5 km from the nearest road access. The details What you need to know During periods of low water, the island is attached to the mainland, and one can explore the dry channels surrounding the island. Wildlife, including deer, elk, moose, coyotes, wolves and bears, are often seen in the area. The island is sandy and boast a wide beach, especially during low water. Paddlers can launch from Old Fort Point near Jasper, the launch just before Sixth Bridge on the Maligne Road, or the Highway bridge (12-Mile bridge) across the north of Jasper. From the latter bridge, it is 3.5 km to the campground. One km below the campground, the river opens up into Jasper. Paddlers can take out along Jasper where Highway parallels the lake. The water of the is very cold, even in mid-summer. The water temperature is generally below 10 degrees C. While this section of the river is graded as Grade 1, there are some tight curves with potential sweepers and strainers. Moreover, Jasper is often very shallow with many sandbars. It can be difficult to navigate across, as the main channel zig-zags across the lake, and is often difficult to see, especially from a canoe. Many canoeists have capsized on the lake when they ran aground on sandbars. Paddlers should have intermediate paddling skills and be familiar with river travel. This trip is not recommended for novice paddlers.

The best place to land is on the beach at the downstream end of the island. Drag your canoes or kayaks well off the beach, in case the river rises during the night.

5 LEAVE NO TRACE Photo: R. Gruys FOOD STORAGE To reduce your campsite s attractiveness to bears, all food, garbage, toiletries must be stored in the provided food lockers. Please clean your locker and take everything with you before you leave. Lockers are not cleaned by staff. HUMAN WASTE Use the pit toilet provided. When there are no facilities nearby, select a spot away from trails, campsites and at least 70 m from water sources. Dig a hole 12 to cm into the dark-coloured, biologically active soil layer. Loosely fill the hole with soil afterward. Use as little toilet paper as possible. Privy There is a pit toilet at this campground. WATER Boil or treat all drinking water. GARBAGE Please Pack it in and pack it out! You are responsible for everything you take into the backcountry and this includes garbage. Do not dispose of garbage in pit toilets it may attract animals. WASHING To wash yourself or your dishes, carry water 70 m away from streams or lakes and use small amounts of biodegradable soap. Strain out those last bits of food waste and pack them out. Disperse strained water on land. CAMPING Do not camp on the beach, as river levels can suddenly rise during the night, flooding the entire beach. CAMPFIRES If fires are allowed, use the metal fireboxes provided, keep your fire small and use only deadfall. Tend to your fire at all times and extinguish it completely before you move on. Gas stoves are cleaner and more efficient for cooking. We recommend you use one. SHORTCUTTING TRAILS Shortcutting between trail switchbacks damages both the soil and plant life. This not only ruins the look of an area, but makes it susceptible to further damage by erosion. COLLECTING NATURAL OR CULTURAL OBJECTS Rocks, fossils, horns, antlers, wildflowers, nests and all other natural or historical objects in a national park are protected by law. Leave them as you found them for others to enjoy. Athabasca Island Backcountry Guide 5
