Waterton Lakes National Park is open year round. Our peak visitor season is during July and August. If you are planning a trip to Waterton during these months, be sure to book your accommodation in advance. From late fall to early spring, most park facilities are closed, and very few services are available in the village.
Most services are located in the Waterton Park townsite. There are ten hotels, several restaurants and lounges, fuel stations, camping supplies, groceries, pool and spa, bank machines, gift shops, tennis courts and playgrounds. interpretive guides, bicycle rentals, golf course, boat tours on Upper Waterton Lake and canoe or rowboat rentals at Cameron Lake are also available. For further information, contact the Waterton Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Association.
