Respecting riparian areas, including vegetation and wildlife, is a key part of enjoying our natural areas now, and into the future. Some beneficial management practices for recreational users include:

​

• If you are interested in recreating on provincial Crown lands, click here for more information.

• Camp away from shorelines to minimize impacts.

• Stay on marked trails and practice “Leave No Trace” principles when visiting recreational sites.

• Stop the spread of invasive species by cleaning footwear, wheels, and gear. For horses, use weed-free feed.

• Keep your wheels out of water and wet areas to prevent damage to fish habitat or erosion and maintain water and soil health.

• Know Before You Go. Plan your route. Only travel on trails that are designated for your activity and do not have closure notices posted.

• Be aware of property lines and vegetation beneath the surface which could be damaged by motorized vehicles in the winter season.
