Fires
should be used sparingly, as they are among the
most serious visual impacts in the backcountry.
Always carry a stove; use it for most if not all
of your cooking needs and only build a fire when
it is safe and will not cause further damage or
deplete wood supplies.
While campfires are allowed and campfire rings are
provided at each campsite, we encourage visitors
to conserve wood and protect the environment by
minimizing the use of fire and using campstoves
instead. Please check for campfire bans and the
Fire Danger Rating for the area you are visiting
before igniting a fire in the backcountry. Limited
burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented.
To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please
don't gather firewood from the area around your
campsite or elsewhere in the park (this is a ticketable
offence under the Park Act). Dead wood is an important
habitat element for many plants and animals and
it adds organic matter to the soil. For more information
