Park Advisories
The backcountry/interior for canoeing and backpacking permits are open for both first come first served and reservations, with the following exceptions/conditions:
• 19 – Basin Lake: Basin Depot Road is closed at km 33.5 just before the hydro-line
• 23 – Lake Travers: --> Open Friday, May 31st
• 25 – Wendigo Lake: 4-wheel drive access only or 1km portage to access point
• 27 – Cedar Lake-Brent: Soft road, 4-wheel drive recommended
We remind everyone that spring conditions mean increased risk due to high water, cold water, ice covered lakes and unmaintained portages. Water temperatures remain near freezing and submersion could quickly become a life-threatening situation. Always wear a PFD or life jacket and stay close to shore. Do not take risks and paddle according to your skill level. Portages may be flooded or partially snow covered. Expect to encounter significant winter deadfall on most routes.
Reminder:
• Some campsites at Rock Lake Campground are closed due to wet, spring conditions.
• Eastern Pines, Western Uplands and Highland Backpacking trails
o Expect spring conditions of snow patches, flooded areas and possible windfalls.
o Parking for the Highland Backpacking trail has been temporarily moved to the Old Railway Bike Trail parking lot in the Mew Lake Campground.
• The Petawawa River system is at historically high levels, extreme caution is required if using this system and only very experienced paddlers should attempt to navigate.
• The White Partridge Cart Trail is unmaintained.
Opening dates to be determined:
• Whiskey Rapids hiking trail remains closed due to flooding.
• Centennial Ridges Road remains closed (but the trail remains open).
