The loons are calling Elbow Valley home — We are pleased that they have again returned for another season! This year we will be temporarily restricting island access at Clearwater Lake to safeguard the nesting and chick development stages of the loons. During this critical stage, disruption from humans, animals or other predators may cause the loon parent to abandon their egg/nest.

Expect this period of closure to last for approximately 5-6 weeks (estimated mid-June).
