In BC Parks:

Dogs and other domestic animals are not permitted in some provincial parks, especially in backcountry/wilderness areas.

Campfires may not be permitted in all parks. Some parks may use communal fire rings.

Swimming areas protect swimmers within marker buoys. All watercraft and water-skiers must stay outside markers. Lifeguards are not in attendance.

Firearms are prohibited.

  Visitors must leave by 11:00 p.m. Only registered campers are allowed in the campsite after 11:00 p.m.

Liquor consumption is prohibited anywhere in the park with the exception of your campsite.

Excessive noise is not permitted. Please remember that sound travels further in open air, especially music and loud talking.

In BC Parks Wilderness Areas:

Flowers, trees, plants and even rocks are part of the park's natural resources. Damage to, collection or removal of any natural resources is prohibited.

Motor vehicles, including motorcycles, ATV's and similar vehicles, are restricted to the vehicle roads and parking lots.

Open fires are not allowed within the park. Primus-type stoves should be used for all cooking in the backcountry.

The park's lakes and streams are the source of drinking water. Wash yourself, your clothes and dishes at least 30 metres from lakes or streams.

Please don't litter - pack out what you pack in.
