LSPP – Gargantua Road Closed

Jun 28, 2026 at 08:00
We are sorry to report that the closure of Gargantua Road has been further extended due to a bridge failure over Slievert Creek, 2 km from the start of the road. As a result, progress towards repairing the washout along the road has been stalled and the entire road is now closed. Unfortunately, we do not have an anticipated reopening date to share at this time.
Due to this closure, the following backcountry access points along Gargantua Road will not be accessible until further notice:
  • Belanger Lake
  • Gargantua Lake
  • Miron Lake
  • Buckshot Lake
  • Gargantua Bay
Campsites in the following Coastal Trail zones will also be temporarily closed:
  • Chalfant Cove
  • Chair Island
  • Warp Bay
  • Gargantua North
  • Gargantua South
  • Rhyolite Cove
  • Mermaid Lagoon
We apologize sincerely for any inconvenience.
If you have further questions or require assistance planning alternative routes, please don’t hesitate to call us at the park anytime during business hours, 8:00 am – 7:00 pm daily: 705-856-2284.
