Cans and bottles restricted: You can bring containers of fuel, insect repellent, medicines, personal toilet articles and other items that are not food or beverages into the park. But non-burnable, disposable food and beverage containers are prohibited. Please carry out all fuel cans.

Mechanized tools and vehicles prohibited: Power saws, gasoline generators, power ice augers, mechanical portage devices, portage wheels, all-terrain vehicles and similar mechanized equipment are prohibited in the park.

Travelling in groups: It is not a good idea to canoe alone. An injury or loss of canoe can spell disaster. Parties of two or three canoes (two people per canoe) are recommended.
A maximum of nine people are allowed on a campsite and no more than two parties of nine should travel together. Large parties can place considerable stress on the environment.

Firearms prohibited: Hunting wildlife and possessing firearms and fireworks are prohibited.

Answers to common questions: The following facts will be useful when planning your trip:
--The prevailing winds are out of the west.
-- Thirty per cent (20 cm) of the park's annual precipitation comes during July and August.
-- Average temperatures (Celsius) during June, July and August are 16.5 degrees, 19 degrees and 17.5 degrees respectively. Frost has been known to occur any month of the year.
-- Mid-May to mid-June is mormally the worst time period for black-flies (also the best time for fishing).
-- Mid-May to the end of June is the peak period for wood ticks (found in the west end of the park).

Bugs: Mosquitoes and black flies are active during most of the canoeing season. They are at their worst from late May through June or after prolonged periods of heavy rain. Your best protection is proper clothing - long-sleeved shirts, pant legs tucked inside socks and light colours (dark colours tend to attract insects). Repellents are also very useful, and screened tents are essential for restful sleep.
