The Tread Lightly! Principles
for Responsible Recreation

 

TTravel and Recreate with Minimum Impact

  • Don’t create new routes or expand existing trails.
  • Avoid sensitive habits like wetlands, bogs and streams.

RRespect the Environment and the Rights of Others

  • Yield to hikers. Personal watercraft users and boaters should be cautious around canoes and kayaks
  • Comply with signage
  • Always obtain permission to cross private land.

EEducate Yourself, Plan and Prepare Before You Go

  • Have the right information, maps and equipment to make your trip safe.
  • Know which areas and routes are open for your type of recreation.

AAllow for future use of the Outdoors, Leave It Better than You Found It

  • Restore areas used to as natural condition as possible.

DDiscover the Rewards of Responsible Recreation 

  • The idea of the modern voyageur is to look back and see no evidence of his or her passing. If you achieve this ideal, you will be able to remember your trip with that extra satisfaction.
