The key to a safe and
memorable hike is advance planning.
Know your physical limit.
Before you plan your route, enquire
at the Visitor Centre to find
out which trails are appropriate for you.
Plan your rute, tell someone about
your plan and stick to it.
Always carry the appropriate clothing
and equipment.
Use repellants to protect yourself
from mosquitos, and other bugs.
Even during the summer time carry
sweater and a windbreaker. They
are good insurance against variable weather.
If you are unsure about weather
conditions, don't take a chance.
Always wear quality footwear, with
good traction and support,
such as running shoes or lightweight boots.
Respect all posted signs, they are
posted to warn you about bad
conditions or hazards.
Newer leave trail in an unfamiliar
area, because you may get lost.
Swimming in unfamiliar rivers can be
enjoyable, but dangerous if
you are not careful.
Never swim in the river if the
current is strong, try to swim
with a buddy and never jump or dive into an unfamiliar river, rocks may
be hidden just below the surface.
Always carry water with you. Assume
all surface water is unfit to
drink unless first boiled for 10 minutes or adequatelly filtered.
Bring more water and food for longer
hikes.
Please carry out all garbage, yours
and any you may find on the
trail.
Respect other hikers who will be
sharing the trail with you.
Keep the distance from wild animals.
Never feed wildlife. Animald that are
fed frequently may start to
expect handouts and become aggresive towards people.
Be considerate of other hikers when
bringing your pet on the
trails.
If bringing pet on the trail, your
pet must be kept on the leash
at all times.
Stoop and scoop every time after your
pet.
To help preserve wildlife for future
generations, please do not
disturb or collect any plants, animals, rocks, shells or artifacts.
Report immediately the location of
any animal acting abnormally
or found dead of no apparent cause.
