Lake Louise Boat Launch & Parking Lot Upgrades
Lake Louise Boat Launch & Parking Lot Upgrades
Project Scope
To construct improvements to an existing single boat launch and the adjacent parking area on Lake Louise.
Benefits
- Concrete boat launch pads extended to deeper water and widened to allow for boats to be launched or loaded two at a time from trailers.
- Dock adds safe access into boats for handicap and elderly and safe tie up for loading/off loading.
- Additional parking lot space increases safety by relocating vehicles out of the highway traffic travel lanes to the new parking area, allows for more users and improves safety in the loading/unloading zone.
Status
Narrow, shallow, old boat launch replaced by wider, deeper new boat launch and opened to the public on August 8, 2019. 
New dock facilities opened on June 23, 2020.
Parking lot expanded (photo shown as banner) and opened with a D-1 surface; vaulted toilet, and three kiosks completed on August 9, 2020.
The final paving and striping of the parking lot will occur near the end of June 2021 to allow for additional permafrost thawing and ground embankment settlement.
