End of the road coming for ‘End of the World’? Erosion impacts Edmonton viewpoint

Keillor Point — which for years was also known as “End of the World” — has been impacted by the record-setting rainfalls Edmonton experienced in June and July 2026.

End of the road coming for ‘End of the World’? Erosion impacts Edmonton viewpoint

The iconic "End of the World" viewpoint in Edmonton, known locally as Keillor Point, may face its final days due to erosion and inadequate maintenance. The site, once a popular secret destination for locals, is now plagued by unstable slopes exacerbated by recent heavy rains. Although the city built a fenced, guarded lookout in 2019, deteriorating conditions have prompted the city to restrict access once again.

No concrete plan for repairs has been announced, but ongoing inspections and potential future engineering work aim to address safety concerns and preserve the site's historical significance.
