Please pull kayaks and canoes away from the shoreline when not using them to protect shoreline vegitation and reduce shoreline erosion.

Fires are allowed only at designated campsites or day use sites in the fire ring provided. Leave no fire unattended and make sure the fire is out before you leave. The best way to prevent recreational areas is by using a portable stove instead of a campfire for cooking.
