Route Details

Cameron Lake Cabin is an Alpine Club of Canada backcountry hut built in 1929 and described as the oldest surviving warden cabin in Waterton National Park. It’s a winter-only booking, set about 400 m from Cameron Lake, and it’s used as a base for ski touring, ice climbing, and cross-country skiing.

The hut has propane heat and lights, sleeps up to 8, and is set up with a mattress bed arrangement and an outhouse (water source is snow melt; no oven is provided). The ski-in is short with Trail Distance 3 km and about 50 m elevation gain; access is by driving about 45 minutes south of Pincher Creek on Hwy 6 South to Waterton National Park, then along the Akamina Parkway to the Little Prairie day use area parking, and skiing about 3 km along the road to the hut in the trees (about 400 m before Cameron Lake). Rates are $50 for members and $60 for non-members, and pricing can change.
