Ontario Parks may authorize cottagers to bring a small backhoe or other similar equipment into the park for the purpose of demolishing a cottage or other structure. Contact the cottage lot program well in advance to obtain approval and advice. Equipment that has to be barged to a cottage lot will have to be brought to shore in an already disturbed area of shoreline. Cottage program staff will provide advice on site prior to authorizing the use of the equipment. Any equipment will be required to comply with the clean equipment protocol to ensure that no foreign soil which may contain invasive plant fragments or seeds is still attached to the equipment. You can find a copy of the clean equipment protocol at:
