Some P.E.I. National Park landmarks still aren't open to the public after Fiona's wrath

Some P.E.I. National Park landmarks still aren't open to the public after Fiona's wrath

Parks Canada crews are still working to repair the damage left behind in P.E.I National Park following post-tropical storm Fiona in September — and they're asking visitors to keep away from areas that are still closed.

The storm's footprint in the park is dramatic. Entire stands of trees were toppled, roads destroyed, trails made impassable and chunks of coastlines erased.

The park, which runs for about 60 kilometres along the province's North Shore, suffered its worst weather-related damage in nearly a century.

As the 2023 summer tourist season begins — the first since the storm hit — some of its most beloved landmarks still aren't open to the public.

"It's great to see people out and about and enjoying P.E.I. National Park, but I will share that it's very important for visitors to stay and stick to designated beach access points," said Jessica Foster with Parks Canada.

"It's really, really important that visitors stick to those designated beach access points and avoid cutting their own paths on the dunes or … climbing over a closure. Those are in place for visitor safety."

Stanhope, Ross Lane and Shaws beaches are all open to visitors.

Brackley, Cavendish and Greenwich beaches sustained significant damage during the storm and remain closed.

The Robinson's Island causeway was essentially destroyed and won't reopen to motorized vehicles, making it accessible only to hikers and cyclists — a change Foster calls an extension of the Robinson's Island trail system.

"All of those locations are extremely popular, so work is underway right now to have those locations open for the peak operational season at the end of June," Foster said.

The work is extensive. Crews are restoring access points to the beaches, either repairing existing stair or boardwalk structures or rebuilding them entirely. They need visitors to stay away to get that work done.

"We understand that these places are very special for Islanders and for visitors and for Canadians," Foster said.

"So we understand the interest and the excitement for visitors to get out and spend time in the national park and to see how it was impacted by Fiona … And our wardens are seeing visitors trying to access areas where we have closed them."

At Dalvay Corner, the sand dunes were wiped out almost entirely. There, crews are putting in granite armour stones which will be covered in sand when the work is done.
