Private Land |
||
Most backcountry land is Crown land. The major exception is the islands of Lake Temagami. As a rule of thumb do not camp on any islands on the lake with the exception of the well-used campsites on the following islands: Horseshoe Island, Deer Island, Temagami Island, Cattle Island. On other islands on other lakes, if the island contains a cabin it is advisable to avoid the island. |
||
Firewood Cutting |
||
There are no restrictions for cutting firewood on Crown land, except on cutting merchantable timber, which is prohibited without a timber license. To be safe, don't cut live trees. |
||
Food Containers |
||
There are no restrictions on food containers. But for the protection of our wilderness pack out anything you pack in. There are trash and recycling facilities at the end of the Lake Temagami Access Road and in the village of Temagami. |
||
Fire Restrictions |
||
You may light a campfire (as opposed to a fire for another purpose), unless the area has been designated a Restricted Fire Zone (watch signs along the highway or check with the MNR or a local outfitter). Failure to comply could result in a fine, jail or financial responsibility for the costs of fighting a fire you started. Even if you were not in a Restricted Fire Zone, you could be held financially responsible for costs of fighting a fire you started. As Smokey says, you can prevent forest fires. |
