GEOGRAPHICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED
CAMPSITE
Alaska State is a part of the United States of America. According to the historical records Alaska
State was purchased from Russia by the United States in1867. Since then Dillingham is very
popular part for the salmon industry and outdoor expeditions. Dillingham is a part of Alaska
which is set on an inlet of Bristol Bay of Alaska. Alaska has more than 3 million lakes under 20
acres areas. Bristol Bay often sees 20 million Red salmon in its waters every year.
Dillingham is home to the largest state park in the nation - Wood-Tikchik State Park. It is a
superb destination for planning sport fishing such as fly- fishing since the place is best known for
king salmon.
Many people find the largest fish they have ever caught in these locations. The types of
fish we are interested in catching will determine where we should do fly-fishing activity
at. King Salmon are found all along the coast of these areas.
CLIMATE
The landscape of the City of Dillingham consists of rolling hills with many irregularly
shaped moraine knolls and ridges separated by flat, wetlands and muskeg. The average
temperature in the summer season would be ranging from 37 to 66 degrees Fahrenheit.
The average temperature in winter season would be ranging from 4 to 30 degrees
Fahrenheit.
The annual rainfall is 26 inches, and annual snowfall is 65 inches. There is heavy fog
observed in the months of July and August. Also, there may be possibility of winds up to
the speed of 60-70 miles per hour (mph), this can be expected at any time of the year,
however there are common from August through December, roughly coinciding with the
peak Pacific typhoon season. Most of the rivers are commonly ice-free from mid-May
through late October in a year. The water temperature also affect the amount of king salmon
catch due to the possibility of changing distribution of fish and marine mammals during water
temperature is very low.
2
WILD THREATS
In Alaska lot of issues created from mosquitoes specially in mid summer. They are commonly
harmed to humans in night and infecting diseases.
On the other hand bears are always reaching to water for eat salmon. They don’t like to link with
humans and try to attack them.
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
This project focuses on the planning of five-day fly-fishing expedition that has been
arranged for the top management team of Blue Note, Inc at the request of its president.
This expedition is arranged and leads by The Great Alaska Adventure (GAA) a firm that
involves in arranging these kinds of outdoor expeditions for organizations and teams.
This expedition is scheduled to take place at the site located in the remote back country of
Tikchik River. This area is popular because for its wildlife and rugged terrain. People
who wish to engage in sport fishing prefer to be in this area which is also best known for
its salmon fishing.
The total expenses of the expedition will be paid by the Blue Note, Inc however the
following will be excluded from the package, i.e. : cost pertaining to their own
transportation to the Dillingham base Camp and from Dillingham base camp back to
Alaska also the equipments and clothing required for fly-fishing .
The GAA will need to provide Air Taxi transportation from Dillingham to the Camp site
one and at the end of the programme from the second Camp site located in “Tikchik”
River Basin back to Dillingham along with that boat transportation with motors, camping
equipments such as tents, cots, beddings and lanterns , three meals a day, experience tour
3
guides and a four-hour fly-fishing training instruction . We will also required to provide
fishing licenses for all the guests along with four experienced river guides.
ANALYSING THE PROJECT DELIVERABLES
a. Providing air transportation from Dillingham, Alaska to Camp I and from
Camp II back to Dillingham on completion of the expedition
This
The first most important thing involved in the planning stage would be finding
way to get from Dillingham to the Tikchik River Basin. we need to find to deal
with the time people going on float trips down the river begin by taking a float
plane to the lake at the head of the river. Our first concern will be the cost of
renting the float plane and making certain that it has sufficient space for our
guests and our equipment.
b. Providing river transportation consisting of two eight-man (8) drift boats with
outboard motors.
c. Provide three meals a day for the five days spent on the river.
d. Provide four hours of fly-fishing instruction.
e. Provide overnight accommodations at the Dillingham lodge plus three, four-man
tents with cots, bedding and lanterns.
f. Provide four experienced river guides who are also fly fisherman.
g. Provide fishing license for all guests.
We will also need to hire four experienced guides who are also adept at fly-fishing and
can teach our guests how to fly fish once we get on the river. Once we get to the river,
we will be able to make the float trip in 4 to 5 days. We will plan on food for six days at
minimum and also take additional equipment for immediate preparation of our catch. In
case of really bad luck fishing, we will take sufficient food to take care of three meals per
day for at least six days. We will also want to take water purification tablets for drinking
water and snacks. The boats will then be taken to the river and we will commence our trip
4
down the river. The first thing will be our fly fishing class and then we will have lunch.
Then we will float down the river for about four hours and get to the campsite for the
evening. We will make camp and begin the first evening of serious fishing. This will be
repeated for the next four days.
It sounds simple and like nothing could go wrong, right? Right. Nothing. Except what if
the motors on the boats don’t work, it rains every day and the raft capsizes the first day
and we lose our food. What if we encounter a grizzly who thinks our guests look like a
good morning snack or one of the guests is allergic to fish? What if they forget their hip
waders and end up with hypothermia? Some of these risks we can plan for and account
for and some we try to mitigate. For example, by hiring experienced guides we should be
able to minimize the chance of capsizing the raft and losing our equipment. In addition,
we will hire at least one, preferably two guides with extensive first aid training and
survival training, so that they can deal with injuries or illness in our guests and whatever
the wildlife try to thrown at us.
We will precheck the equipment before leaving Dillingham to make certain that the
equipment is functional. This should reduce the chance of malfunction once we get into
the wilderness. In addition, we will take both cellphones and a CB radio so that we can
communicate with civilization should we need immediate medical assistance. We will
carry flares and the guides will be armed with shotguns in case of an animal attack.
Since we are going in June, the likelihood is that the weather will be cooperative and we
should have warm enough temperatures, but we will need to consider what alternatives
will be in place should the week of the trip arrive and the weather be inappropriate for a
trip into the back country. For example, if we find that the entire week is expected to be
rainy and cold, we need to have an alternative plan in place. What is our responsibility if
the trip must be canceled due to inclement weather?The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) recognizes the best, most up-to-date health information is without
value unless it is pertinent and accessible to the people it is meant to serve. Lockheed

PREPARATIONS
When planning any fly fishing trip it is essential to always be prepared.
This is even more important when planning a fly fishing trip to Alaska where the hours
are long and the climate is harsh. The proper gear can make the difference between a
successful expedition and one resulting in failure. It is highly recommended that you
check with a reputable outfitter before setting out on any adventure that your equipment
is proper and in good working order, with that in mind,
The following list is some the must haves on any fly fishing adventure to Alaska these
can insure a safe and productive outing:
Fishing Equipment
The proper size rod for the specific fish you are after with corresponding hooks and
lures.Also a net and a way of keeping your catch are also important.
Proper Line
Safety Items are always a good thing to have on hand and are essential to your trip and
could save your life.
Always have a Fire extinguisher
Make sure to have the proper Fishing license
A loud Horn or whistle for warding off bears etc and alerting others to any possible
danger or your location if you happen to get hurt
Proper fitting life jackets for everyone in the party
A well stocked first aid kit
7
Additional Items
Be sure to carry a current map
Enough Extra gas or oil for any unforeseen occurrence
A cell/ satellite phone or even a GPS is good to have on hand
A Compass
Enough extra food for any unforeseen occurrence
Additional dry clothes and rain gear
Now that the list is compiled it is also a good idea to create a detailed itinerary and to
leave a copy with a friend. One of the best ways to guarantee a successful endeavor is to
hire a licensed guide. There are many reputable organizations to choose from and since
most trips are of short duration it is often beneficial to expend the additional cost to hire a
professional that can lead you safely to the prefect fishing site and back.
Alaska is a fantastic location for fishing during various times of the year. In order to get
the most benefit from your fishing in Alaska you want to do some research before you
go. You will find that certain lakes and streams are more prosperous during various times
of the year. When you take the migrating of the fish into consideration you will also
know which direction you need to be in order to catch them along the way. During the
colder months you can take part in ice fishing in Alaska as well.
Make sure you have the right equipment though when you go fishing in Alaska. If you
are used to catching fish that weight a few pounds your line isn’t going to be right for
catching the much larger fish that are found here. You can get all the right equipment you
need at local sporting goods stores. You also want to use live bait to catch your fish while
in Alaska.
If you aren’t sure about what all fishing in Alaska has to offer, you can hire a guide to
assist you. Some of them even offer their boats as a charter and will take you to the prime
locations for the afternoon. If you want to make a go of it on your own you can certainly
do so. Just take the time to listen to the many locals out there that will give you additional
tips so you can get the most from your fishing in Alaska experience.
8
There are many exciting fishing vacations and expeditions to Alaska. You can look
online for information on how to become part of one. You can also contact your local
travel agent to assist you. If you are ready for a dynamic fishing experience that is
beyond anything you have done in the past, Alaska is the place to do it.

Fishing jobs in Alaska
September 2nd, 2008 by fishingi
Alaska commercial fishing has been somewhat glamorized in the television and movie
industries and through legend. The lure of living an adventurous life at sea appeals to the
pirate in many of us, but the reality of commercial fishing may not be what one has in
mind when deciding to put one’s things in storage and hop a plane to look for fishing jobs
in Alaska.
Commercial fishing is a big industry in Alaska, but this doesn’t mean a job is guaranteed.
In fact, crew members tend to hold on to jobs they’ve found to be reliable, so it can be
hard to find fishing jobs in Alaska, especially since job openings are spread largely
through word of mouth. Be prepared–mentally and physically–to do a lot of waiting.
Landing one of the few fishing jobs in Alaska, necessitates several things, such as $250-
300 worth of equipment, from a sleeping bag to wet weather gear and obtaining a fishing
license. One should also expect to be charged a share of the operating expenses, and once
on board, to forgo any expectation for privacy, whether using the toilet or trying to relax.
Fishing jobs in Alaska can pay well if there is a good harvest. Of course, there is no
guarantee, and a poor harvest means the crew member’s share or percentage of the
harvest can be meager. There is no minimum wage for crew members, so be sure to sign
a reasonable payment agreement before signing on to a vessel.
Aside from the monetary risk, be aware of the physical dangers of the industry.
Commercial fishing is one of the most dangerous occupations in America, and since
accidents, if they occur, will take place far from medical facilities and assistance, the risk
to one’s health and safety is even greater.
Thus, to survive in commercial fishing in Alaska, one must be physically strong, willing
to work hard, able to tolerate constant companionship for extended periods of time, and
willing to take and follow directions.

a. in inability to maneuver and colliding with other objects, which may result in
people being thrown overboard.
b. Fuel shortage due to miscalculation of the amount of fuel needed for the entire
expedition and the potential that this may cause a fire or an explosion on board
the vessel and the lack of proper fly-fishing equipment.
c. The extremes weather and sea conditions -unsuitable weather conditions,
including deterioration in weather, which may result in the capsize of the vessel
and the death of individuals on board

has been given the responsibility to organise and lead the five day fly fishing expedition
down the Tikchik River system in the Alaska
The project would be commencing on the 21st June 2011 and would be finishing 25th June
2011 . ( Both days are included in the project plan )
The Total budget allowed to this expedition would be USD 27,000
Introduction
The Great Alaska Adventures(GAA) has been given the task of planning a five-day fly-
fishing trip for the executive team of BlueNote , Inc . at the bequest of its President .
The trip will be into the remote back country of Tikchik River , an area known for its
wildlife and rugged terrain . The area is best known for its salmon fishing . The trip will
be all-inclusive except that the executives will be responsible for their own transportation
to the Dillingham base camp . We will need to provide transportation from Dillingham to
the Tikchik River Basin , boat transportation with motors , camping equipment and meals
, guides and a four-hour fishing class . We will provide fishing licenses for all the
guests and four experienced river guides .
Discussion
The first thing we need to find to deal with in the planning process is to find a way to get
from Dillingham to the Tikchik . Most of the time people going on float trips down the
river begin by taking a float plane to the lake at the head of the river . Our first concern
will be the cost of renting the float plane and making certain that it has sufficient space
for our guests and our equipment . We will also need to hire four experienced guides who
are also adept at fly-fishing and can teach our guests how to fly fish once we get on the
river .
12
Once we get to the river , we will be able to make the float trip in 4 to 5 days . We will
plan on food for six days at minimum and also take additional equipment for immediate
preparation of our catch . In case of really bad luck fishing , we will take sufficient food
to take care of three meals per day for at least six days . We will also want to take water
purification tablets for drinking water and snacks .
The boats will then be taken to the river and we will commence our trip down the river .
The first thing will be our fly fishing class and then we will have lunch . Then we will
float down the river for about four hours and get to the campsite for the evening . We will
make camp and begin the first evening of serious fishing . This will be repeated for the
next four days.
It sounds simple and like nothing could go wrong , right ? Right . Nothing .
Except
what if the motors on the boats don 't work
it rains every day and the raft capsizes the first day and we lose our food .
What if we encounter a grizzly who thinks our guests look like a good morning snack or
one of the guests is allergic to fish ?
What if they forget their hip waders and end up with hypothermia ?
Some of these risks we can plan for and account for and some we try to mitigate .
For example , by hiring experienced guides we should be able to minimize the chance of
capsizing the raft and losing our equipment . In addition, we will hire..
1.1 Scope
This project is being initiated in order to setup a coastal based tourism venture in Mirissa Sri
Lanka. The venture is being undertaken mainly to setup facilities for Whale and Dolphin
watching off the coasts of Mirissa, Sri Lanka. The venture also hopes to provide facilities to its
customers for a range of other activities such as water sports, sports fishing, snorkeling and sea
kayaking. Providing star class accommodation will not be a priority in the near future for this
venture, however a rest house with a restaurant and summer huts will be constructed on the
13
premises of the venture in order to accommodate and serve its customers. Project completion date
estimated for January 2012 Duration for completion one year and ten days.
1 . 2 Trade off assessment
Although the venture hopes to maintain focus on all three control trade offs, the relative
importance of finishing the project within the budgeted cost and the performance specifications is
greater than on time delivery. Budgeted cost is a constrain, and is a fixed requirement for the
project. It is hoped to enhance the performance of the venture over the other trade offs especially
in light of the competition that the venture faces. Completion of the project on time will be
accepted as a parameter that may not be met. Reducing its importance in the trade off assessment
may be justified due to factors such as delays and bureaucratic red tape in obtaining approvals for
the project due to its environmentally sensitive nature. Although these trade offs have to be made
more time on the project will result in more costs as such all attempts will be made to prevent
schedule time overruns.

2. Work Break down Structure (WBS)
The work break down structure of the venture will break down the total project scope in to the
main deliverables of the project along with the sub deliverables and work packages. The main
deliverable of the venture is to create a sea and coast based tourism resort which will provide the
facilities for its customers to engage in the activity of Whale & Dolphin watching whilst also
being able to accommodate its customers at its water sport / adventure resort.
Sub deliverables of the project will mainly be the setup of the business, the design and
construction of the premises, procurement of the necessary equipment and boats, marketing and
fulfilling the staffing requirements of the venture. The work packages will be the main activities
under each sub deliverable that need to be completed in order for the sub deliverable to be
complete.

The work break down structure will basically tie activities and responsibility by assigning the
work to be done along with the budgeted cost, time and resources within which that work must be
accomplished. The WBS develops the baseline of the project and can be used along the life cycle
of the venture to monitor and track progress of activities. If there are problems on the project the
WBS will enable tracking those problems to the source activities and responsibilities.

3. Project Network (AON)
18
The project network uses the activity on nod (AON) technique in order to highlight the activities
of a project and the sequence they need to be completed in. The necessary approvals from the
different authorities along with the legal registration need to be obtained first in order for the
project to move forward especially due to the ventures environmentally sensitive nature. Once
these have been obtained budgets can be prepared which will then enable the designing of the
premises and construction activities to follow while procurement, staffing and marketing based
activities will make up the remaining sequences of the network. The final milestone activity will
be the commencement of operations of the venture.
The project network will give the venture a basic time frame from start to finish in addition to
start and finish days for each of the activities on the network. Most importantly the network
enables the calculation of the critical path which is the shortest possible duration in which the
project can be completed any delay on this path will delay the entire project. The network also
facilitates calculating slack time for certain activities which is the time an activity can be delayed
after the start of a longer parallel activity or activities. The network will enable the venture to
direct resources for activities as an when they are needed as identified by the sequence of
dependencies and also use resources of activities with slack to speed up work on the critical path.

5.1 Scheduling conflicts
The nature of this project is such that the project managers input may be required at the same
time on activities of different sub deliverables as a result conflict may arise due to the time
constraints faced by these tasks and sub deliverables. This may result in time schedule revising
from the original plan. Although each of the five team members have been assigned to assist each
of the officers and project manager it is at the discretion of the project manager to redirect any
one of the team members to different tasks as per requirement. This may also cause conflicts.

Equipment used for Fly Fishing
1. Rods and reels
Than reels rods are more important in fly fishing.
2. Line
A good Quality fly line will be cost usually of $ 30 upwards.
3.Flies
It’s depend buying the files , pattern of the fly fishing . Dry Files using for fishing the surface of
the water and Wet Files flies for fishing under the surface.
Nymph patterns are usually tied with a weighted material to get the fly to sink. It also can be tied
with what is called a bead head. A bead head is a bb-sized, metal ball (gold colour) .this is an
attractor for the fish
4.Waders
A good pair of waders is important for fly fishing and it gives more clearance for back cast.
5. Vests
While doing fly fishing need to have variety of flies, different size tippet, a knife and something
to eat. Fly fishing vests been created to carry these stuff.
6. Knots
Arbor Knot – this is using to attach your backing material to reel arbor
Clinch Knot – it is recommended for tying fly to your leader or tippet. This is a simple knot to
gain experience fly fishing.
Nail Knot - The Nail Knot requires a small diameter utensil, toothpick, or some other object
about the twice the diameter of fly line.
39
Surgeons Knot - Easiest knot to tie and used to attach tippet to leader.
Also sunglasses, nets , Fly Boxes and Hats also very important equipments for fly fishing.
Risks in Fly Fishing
1. Sunburn, poisonous bites and bites and stings from insects by general walking and
fishing out door
2. Injuries and illness can be caused by walking to field sites and fishing areas like rivers,
streams, lakes , reservoirs and ponds
3. Falling or slipping on slippery
4. Drowning
5. Attack by farm animals
6. Falling off bridges
7. Suffering dermatitis poisonous from poisonous plants and fungus
8. Tripping over equipment
9. Medical conditions
10. Electrocution
11. Using sharp laboratory fly tying types tools and equipments
How to overcome the Risk
1. Wear sun cream , wear a sun hat and sunglasses to protect eyes
2. Check the body after returning from the field. If got any fever, rash or bytes seek for
medications immediately
3. Use appropriate clothing, extra food, water , first Aid and waterproofs
4. Take care crossing bridges
5. Wash hand as soon as finish fishing before eating , drinking or smoking
6. Cover all the wounds with water proof plaster before fishing
7. Not to lick or chew any plant, or eat unknown berries.
8. Use suitable equipment and tools
9. Establish the emergency exists and procedures for fishing

The main risks that the project faces are time schedule delays events such as unnecessary delays
in obtaining approvals for the project which may occur at the inception or startup, and delays in
other project activities which may occur through the life of the project such as construction
delays. Unforeseen cost increases in both construction of premises and procurement of equipment
which may also occur at any point in the project life cycle and ability to obtain all necessary
equipment and boats on time to ensure enhanced performance of the venture are the other areas
prone to risk. Staffing problems can be various from recruited and trained staff leaving to wrong
selections in recruitment being made, this risk event may occur throughout the staffing stage of
the venture right up to commencement of operations.

identified bottleneck activities that are expected to cause delay such as obtaining approvals. These
time buffers will only be used if the risk event occurs and there existence will not be
communicated to the team, only the project investor will be aware of these time buffers. Although
costs will be a tightly controlled element of the project and sticking to budget will be of high
priority contingency funds will be separated at the beginning of the project to be used in the case
of unexpected events occurring. Obtaining the necessary boats and equipment on time is a risk
event where the risk will be transferred by payment of advances to suppliers to ensure on time
delivery this will be done however after a careful selection and identification of what the most
essential and difficult to obtain equipment are. Special attention will be paid to the procurement
of the deep sea boat. Inappropriate or wrong staffing and staff turnover may seriously harm the
venture and may inhibits its customer service therefore the project contingency plan is to
maintain all records of the interviewees from the recruitment and selection process in order to be
able to fill any sudden unforeseen vacancies that may arise or changes that may have to be made
post training pre operations.

9. Management issues
Even though the project team is small motivation problems may arise midway in to the project
due to its duration of one year. The project manager reaffirming the project objective and vision
to hi team along with having meetings with the project investor to give pep talks to the project
team should be good techniques to rejuvenate the project team.
Problems that arise during the project need to be dealt with in order to ensure that the project
stays on schedule and within budget, the problems that can arise in a project such as this are
numerous, like cost and schedule overruns the project manager needs to be a problem solver and
foresee and anticipate problems that may arise so that solutions can be formulated more easily..
Conflicts arising within the project need to be resolved by the project manager. Although
functional conflict can be encouraged as it is productive and may result in improvements to the
project dysfunctional conflicts need to be eradicated. The project manager should intervene and
prevent stalemates between two conflicting parties.
10. Project manager role
The project manager will have to provide the frame work to plan and communicate the work that
needs to be done on the project, he is the initiator he needs to identify and gather the resources
that will be required on the project.
The project manager will be responsible for providing direction, preparing schedules, assigning
work responsibilities, coordinating efforts, integrating plans and controlling costs. The project
manager should be able to address the right issues at the right time and make the right decisions.
The project manager should have leader ship skills especially for implementing change etc in
order to be able to show the way. He should be a problem solver and provide solutions to his
team’s problems. He should intervene and prevent conflict when ever it arises and prevent
stalemates developing between team members
The project manager should be an optimist and tray to be positive as possible he should t6ake all
the opportunities available to him in encouraging and motivating his team
43
11. Key to success
Project manager competency is of paramount importance for project success he should lead by
example and manage all project stake holders since each of them will have there own priorities.
He should manage by wandering around since this is construction project he should be onsite
when ever possible.
The project manager should build a high performance project team this can be achieved by
creating a effective shared vision an sense of common purpose, make effective use of individual
talents and expertise, managing a good reward system, ensure they set high performance
standards and rejuvenating and refreshing the teams mindset from time to time.
Use available expertise and techniques to ensure estimates are accurate as possible, although this
is a one off project and there is more uncertainty and risk involved and probability of estimates
being wrong, techniques such as top down estimating using group consensus, mathematical
models and quotations from vendors etc will be used to make estimates as accurate as possible,
time in to the project the WBS information will be used to create bottoms up estimates that will
then enable the reconciliation of both types of estimates. Once baseline estimates are made they
will be monitored right up to project completion.
Monitoring of actual data and comparing with baseline data is another very important activity for
project success as this enable the management to take corrective action as and when needed.
Good change management skills are essential as changes may have to be incorporated in to the
project at any given point of time in the project life cycle if things are not going according to
plan. Change identification, change implementation responsibility, conflict management are some
of the activities dealt with here
Equipment and boats should be rigorously tested Safety equipment and all equipment and rations
necessary in case of emergency should be maintained on board as well as on the resort. Resort
team staff should be highly trained and when selecting priority will be given to experience gained
on the field over everything else.
44
The management of the project using the above guidelines should enable the successful
completion of the project along with the smooth functioning once operations of the venture
commences.

===Climate
in the south to the cooler, dryer continental influence of the interior to the north. The weather is
generally cool and moist with daily July high/low temperatures averaging 65°F and 46°F,
respectively.in jun temprture is around 68 F
Annual snowfall averages 60 to 70 inches at Dillingham and may reach more than 160 inches at
Lake Nerka. Winds are usually moderate (0-30 mph), prevailing from the southeast/southwest in
summer and from the north and east in winter.
Alaska is known as the Land of the Midnight Sun because of the really long days .in jun 18 hrs
having day time.
====Safety Considerations
File a trip plan. Leave it with a friend, your air taxi, the Wood-Tikchik State Park office, or
someone else reliable. Be sure to close it when your trip is complete.
Avoid the bears. View bears from a distance. Keep a very clean camp. Do not bury trash; haul it
out. Avoid camping in the vicinity of salmon spawning streams and other spawning areas when
salmon are present. The bears will be there!
Protect your equipment. Bears and porcupines love to disable rafts and skinned kayaks. Protect
them. You're a long way from the road head.
Giardiasis. The intestinal parasite Giardia Lamblia is prevalent in many lakes and streams in
Alaska. Giardiasis may be contracted by drinking untreated water in areas of beaver and other
45
water mammal activity. The symptoms are diarrhea and severe cramping, and may appear up to
two weeks after exposure. Treat water by boiling, using chemical tablets or biological filter.
Beware of weather. Wind on the open lakes can quickly create dangerous whitecap conditions.
Always wear a personal flotation device and travel close to shore during transitional weather
patterns. Immersion in cold water will result in exhaustion or unconsciousness within 30 to 60
minutes. Use effective rainwear and keep a lighter or waterproofed matches available.
Fires. Open fires are permitted only on gravel beaches and bars. Use dead and down wood only.
Extinguish fully and bury completely before leaving the site. The use of portable campstoves is
permitted throughout the park and is encouraged. Live tree cutting is not permitted.
Insects. Although not regarded a safety hazard, mosquitoes and biting flies can diminish an
otherwise wonderful trip. Pack your favorite repellent.
Food and fuel. Weather and other unforeseen variables can often extend a trip unexpectedly.
Carry extra food and fuel, just in case.
