What to bring
Packing light means less to transport. Your bags, food, wood and water will be heavy.
Do not bring wood unless it is a manufactured log or commercially packaged(kiln dried). Moving firewood, even just a few kilometers, can spread invasive insects and diseases to our forests and is no longer allowed in the Province. Sustainably harvested, carbon-offset firewood is available for purchase at the Reception. Fallen and standing trees, dead or alive, are home to birds insects and animals, so leave them intact. They recycle nutrients back into the environment through decomposition. Stripping branches from standing or fallen trees also detracts from an area’s natural appearance.
- Sleeping bags (3 season) & pillows
- Food & beverages: A well-stocked depanneur is located at park entrance, but is only open in summer. Closest grocery store is 25 minutes from the site.
Note: Repackage food to minimize waste. You must pack out what you pack in. Visit our Cooler packing tips page.
- It is not necessary to buy or bring water. Drinking water is available at the reception building. Lake water is located near your treehouse and may be purified or boiled for drinking water.
Note: Bottled water is discouraged due to landfill waste that it generates, and the additional weight you will have to carry.
- Flashlights and batteries
- Toiletries; biodegradable & phosphate free, and towels.
- Appropriate footwear for living in the forest.
- Slippers to keep your treehouse clean & dry
- Your own snowshoes or micro-spikes or rent from our reception.
