Suggestions for low-impact
camping:
Camp at known campsites. There are no designated campsites in the park,
however, your outfitter may be able to identify the most aesthetic campsites on your
selected route.
 | Use existing stone fireplaces rather than create a new fire scar. Better
still, use a gas stove rather than an open fire for cooking. Stoves reduce the need for
firewood and they work well when the woods are soaking wet. They can also be used safely,
if extreme fire hazard conditions prohibit all open fires. Fire bans, known as Restricted
Fire Zones, are not uncommon during the hot, dry summer months.

| Collect dead wood for the evening fire away from campsites. Often a short paddle along
the shoreline will provide more dead wood than the areas adjacent to the campsite. |
| Practice a pack-in/pack-out, “no trace” camping philosophy. Good campers have
adopted a practice of leaving their campsite cleaner than when they found it. |
