Pets on Leash
Pets/domestic animals must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in beach areas or park

Boat Launch
A boat launch provides boating access to the East Pine and Murray Rivers.
Campfires
While campfires are allowed,
we encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing
the use of fire and using campstoves instead. Firewood is not available in the park, so you must bring your own. Limited burning hours or campfire bans
may be implemented. To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don’t
gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the
park (this is a ticketable offence under the Park Act). Dead wood is an
important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic
matter to the soil.
