Cardinal River Headwaters TrailThe 15 km Cardinal River Headwaters Trail, established under the Coal Branch Access Management Plan (1994), travels through the forested area and enters the Coal Branch Public Land Use Zone at km 8. The portion of the Public Land Use Zone is also designated as prime protection area. This portion of the trail is in a sensitive alpine environment, and off-highway vehicle use has been restricted to the designated trail only.

Due to the high altitude of the trail, snow tends to remain in this area well into June seasonal closures of this trail have been enacted to protect this sensitive environment and guard againt the continued degradation of alpine through which this trail travels.

Whitehorse Creek Provincial Recreation Areais located on the park's northeastern boundary 38 km southwest of Robb. The recreation area provides basic camping facilities as well as corrals, hitching rails and loading ramps for equestrian users.

Enforcement of these and other regulations is ongoing

throughout the region.

Ride ResponsiblyLead by example; use the trails in a safe and responsible manner.
