Camping Tips

Leave No Trace - Make every canoe / camping trip a clean one by following the "Leave No Trace" rule and be sure to leave little evidence of your presence.

Follow the Trail - While portaging or camping, make sure to stay on the trails to prevent disturbing wildlife and habitat.

Fire Control - Make sure ALL campfires are kept small and are thoroughly extinguished with water after use. Never leave a fire until you are sure it is cold.

Check In - We encourage you to stop in at the Tourism Office in Flin Flon or Creighton to register your trip before you head out.

What To Bring

Whether you prefer a drive-in campground or back country, always remember to prepare for all weather conditions. Let someone know where you are going and when to expect you back, and be mindful of wild animals. Parks Canada provides a checklist of items to consider packing prior to your camping trip.
