Default 50th St NSR boat launch Edmonton

Does anyone know when this will be open again?

Im hoping soon. According to the city officials I spoke to last year about opening it up, they said its up to the fire department to deem it safe. Right now they say its not open due to ice flows. You can sign up for email updates on the launch on the city website. I heard rumors of the river still being covered west of town, but only rumors. Can anyone confirm this?

There is still a large amount of ice, although small pieces with the odd large one thrown in coming down river. The water is like chocolate milk so it might be a little while before they open the boat launches.

I can assure you that fire department has nothing to do with the boat launch being open or closed or deemed safe.

The website says it’s open, drive by and still a chain on the gate. Called 311 and they didn’t know what was going on and said it should be open. Said they would bring it up with parks. Bleh
