Firewood can be purchased
from the Park Facility Operator in some parks or
you can bring your own wood. Fees for firewood are
set locally and may vary. To preserve vegetation
and ground cover, please do not gather firewood from
the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the
park. Dead wood is an important habitat element for
many plants and animals and it adds organic matter
to the soil. You can conserve firewood and air quality
by keeping your campfire small. Limited burning hours
or campfire bans may be implemented and some parks
may use communal fire rings. Be prepared to bring
a portable stove for cooking.

The
adjacent Lockhart Creek Provincial Park has a well
maintained hiking trail that follows the north side
of Lockhart Creek gaining about 800 metres of elevation
over a 3 hour hike. An old cabin site about two hours
up is a favorite destination. Though open to wilderness
recreation, the park has no facilities or marked
trails and is not regularly serviced. Visitors should
be self-sufficient and proficient in back-country
travel practices. For
your own safety and the preservation of the park, obey
posted signs and keep to designated trails. Shortcutting
trails destroys plant life and soil structure.
